If you take a moment, you can see a safety concern in this picture.

PLEASE - Do not try this at home... Or even your friends house.

I think I see the safety concern.

The truck might fall over all the way and roll right throught the concrete block wall on the building. If there was a person inside the building at that location, he might get killed.

Was I correct???

the window is open allowing someone to sneak up and steal the truck?

I believe this is the third time in a year we've seen this.

Yes it's pretty well circulated...

...I think the guy is selling his special truck jacks on e-bay...

Having to look at the color that guy painted his truck is harming my vision... is that what you're talking about?

Looks like a large male dog preparing to urinate. That guy may get seriously hosed.

If the truck falls off the jacks, the driver's door and front fender might fall right off the frame, due to the extensive rust. If there is a passerby walking next to the truck, he could get hit with the flying body parts.

You're all way off base!
The window on the building (in the upper right corner of the photo) has bars on it. If the building catches on fire, the people inside the building are toast!! A real safety concern!!

The safety concern is that when the job is completed, the fellow might be inclined to kick the wooden jacks out from supporting the truck while he is still underneath it. It's far easier to kick the jack out from under the truck rather than try and pull the jack out from out in the road.

True. And safer too, you don't wanna be standing in the middle of the road diddledinkin' around with the post! Might get hit by a car!

Guys,
Let's get serious here. You are missing the big picture here. All kidding aside. There is a welder on the side and the power cord is right in the gutter. Water and electricity do not mix. Please play it safe.

Maybe he should ground the welder to the bars on the window, just to be safe.
