There is no such thing as “idiot proof”. There is only “idiot resistant”. The ingenuity of idiots knows no bounds.

I’ve been witness to two industrial fatalities.
Both were in that category.
One was moving a 20,000 pound chemical tank with the rigging improperly set vs the center of gravity so it swung against a wall and pinned a guy.
The other was a 40 foot fall from a roof mounted tower when the guy didn’t have his fall arrest on correctly.

These were both skilled trades guys who do this stuff every day but got careless.
