This was just posted in a local Jeep group. Am I the only one who looks at this and sees an incredible amount of danger / stupidity? Maybe I'm wrong, but this looks like a disaster waiting to happen...

It's kind of hard to figure out exactly what they are doing and why it needs done.

I'm also not sure if I see a strap or a cable but whatever it is I hope it's not pulling the jack or maybe the whole Jeep to my right (their left). Gravity never needs help like that.

They were taking the wheel off to remove a rock that had gotten stuck between the fender and the tire. The fact that they had a guy crawling under a Jeep which is supported by a hilift on an incline is what brought up the idiot factor in my opinion.

mmmm kinda looks dodgy for sure....looks like they needed a support on the opposite side to stop it rolling to left and pinning those guys down there
