Sci-fi lines


"No one is safe!!!"

Sounds like a line from a 1950s horror flick about a giant slime ball that was created as a result of a laboratory nuclear reaction gone awry, but it seems to be more of a truism about workplaces in this area - at my sons indoor soccer practice.

In yet another stunning unsafe act, Billy Bob was on top of a 3-story high movable platform being push around the gym by Jimmy Bob as he was leaning out of the platform to change lights and raise/lower basketball hoops. And, you've probably guessed by now - absolutely no fall protect. Eek.

Employer? Employee? Who would be responsible for Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob or my 8-year-old sons in an accident? Me? Nope. We left the gym - I couldn't stand to watch.
