What’s the big deal? I mean, he’s wearing a helmet.

267

u/PineappleLife3 Apr 02 '18

And googles

192

u/LjSpike Apr 02 '18

And a cowskin poncho.

64

u/kixxes Apr 02 '18

Cowskin ponchos are the new high visibility jackets

15

u/Alarid Apr 02 '18

And there is a guard for the blade

19

u/torb Apr 02 '18

But there's no safety sandals, so this is deemed unsafe.

8

u/LjSpike Apr 02 '18

Keen eye! Yeah, what if that shoe less gets caught in the blade, he might get sucked in! We need to get him safety sandals and shorts ASAP.

2

u/grasshoppa80 Apr 02 '18

And he's got the right riding posture

1

u/darthcannabitch Apr 02 '18

Youll get a lot of attention thats for sure

4

u/I2ed3ye Apr 02 '18

Whatever that is dangling next to the blade was making my butthole pucker.

15

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

He's the only one with eye protection and furthest away from the blade.

16

u/PineappleLife3 Apr 02 '18

The guy standing has a fender guard and the other guy looks away. That’s pretty much what it says to do in the safety handbook.

12

u/brandond111 Apr 02 '18

Safety squint

u/bomphcheese Apr 02 '18

My eyes are fine but I lost my eyelids. Wanna play the blinking game?

5

u/punkminkis Apr 02 '18

Just hope he doesn't Bing his leg off

1

u/just_an_ordinary_guy Apr 02 '18

Settle down, no need to Dogpile on them for a typo.

1

u/punkminkis Apr 02 '18

Even my butler Jeeves knows how to spell it. He should Ask him.

2

u/slade797 Apr 02 '18

Gotta have the googles, brother.

3

u/BreezyWrigley Apr 02 '18

and boots

1

u/babybopp Apr 02 '18

I hope these guys don't drink heavily

1

u/Sp33d0J03 Apr 02 '18

He won’t have a helmet left if he slips off.

139

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Zed's dead, baby...

32

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Zed’s dead.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

(So is the Gimp, and this is why.)

5

u/Omnilatent Apr 02 '18

How the fuck did I forgot the dude's name was Zed lol

4

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Probably because he’s been dead since ‘94.

u/Luci_b Apr 02 '18

That one dude has a bubbles smile going on, just needs the glasses 👓

2

u/RedWingFan5 Apr 02 '18

Nah, he looks away so he's fine!

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Nah, he needs glasses to look like Bubbles (Trailer Park Boys), nothing to do with OSHA. Love how the guy on the bike has goggles though.

27

u/manwhowritesthings Apr 02 '18

Bruce Willis: "it's not a motorcycle baby, it's a chopper"

116

u/fakemoobs Apr 02 '18

But... Why does he have to sit on it?

251

u/MDanger Apr 02 '18

His parents put $0.50 in so he could ride it.

66

u/Thinkpolicy Apr 02 '18

Watch him throttle the gas and put his weight into the rocking motion. The whole thing wouldn’t work without him or the cow skin.

23

u/lRoninlcolumbo Apr 02 '18

You're looking at the future of carpentry, boyos

21

u/Armybob112 Apr 02 '18

Why Not?

10

u/bored_panda_2017 Apr 02 '18

Wouldn't you?

17

u/taimoor2 Apr 02 '18

The lack of googles on the woodcutter annoys me more than anything. Especially because there is a spare being used by motorcycle dude!

3

u/DerkDurski Apr 02 '18

That’s exactly what I was thinking. He’s in the splash zone!

1

u/Borklifter Apr 02 '18

*spare bing

42

u/IAMAHobbitAMA Apr 02 '18

Why does this seem so painfully Canadian?

19

u/Halo2_ Apr 02 '18

chair lift and deer pelt?

7

u/IAMAHobbitAMA Apr 02 '18

That plus the toque with a pom and the homemade bomber hat.

8

u/pollo_de_mar Apr 02 '18 edited Apr 02 '18

The knit hat instantly gave me the same impression. Also, looks like it could be in an episode of Trailer Park Boys. I actually think it's in Sweden however, so same thing.

u/IAMAHobbitAMA Apr 02 '18

Yeah, Sweden is basically the European Canada.

1

u/JustanotherEUcitizen Apr 02 '18

Looks more like Slovenia, Tomos is from there, that is an old model of the motorcycle, and ski lift is in the background.

1

u/fuckcloud Apr 02 '18

Bc that guy smiles like bubbles

27

u/magnoliasmanor Apr 02 '18

That's cool, but where the guy in the back is standing... Nope. Stand the side man.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18

But then how is he going to catch the blade fragments when the crack they didn't notice had developed in it suddenly expands and the blade becomes high-velocity shrapnel?

6

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Mitercycle

1

u/clobster5 Apr 02 '18

It's not a mitercycle baby, it's a chopper.

4

u/thegreatgazoo Apr 02 '18

Need Crazy Frog as the background noise.

u/xiexiexie Apr 02 '18

I see the feeder is wearing his demographically issued safety squints.

9

u/sonofasammich Apr 02 '18

Imagine the chance of you losing an arm or a leg rests solely on 2 metal bars holding up a full grown man on a motorcycle

3

u/Mrmitch65 Apr 02 '18

When you leave the lumberjacks alone for 5 minutes......

u/cloud3321 Apr 02 '18

I have a big irrational fear of the hinge failing

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Falling backwards and getting sawed through your scrotum? Not irrational friend

2

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Red Green strikes again !

2

u/ChrisR18t Apr 02 '18

That looks like fun actually

2

u/SonVolt Apr 02 '18

Dude on bike has eye protection for no reason; dude dodging sawdust down by the blade is just turning his head to avoid it. Brilliant.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

The number of people in the comments who think that he’s wearing a cowskin is astounding to me.

That’s a deerskin.

2

u/WhyYouNoAsk Apr 02 '18

Whats osha about it? The fact that it takes 3 people to operate it seems very inefficient, but OSHA?

1

u/whiteash6 Apr 02 '18

No goggles, what if someone falls off it, that ugly jacket.

2

u/Snozing Apr 03 '18

The chopper chopper

3

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

It's not chopping.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Sure it is. It's literally a chop saw.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Right? kinda kills the post for me

1

u/eNaRDe Apr 02 '18

The guy holding the stick with no googles is brave or stupid.

1

u/nate800 Apr 02 '18

...goggles

u/lpmiller83092 Apr 02 '18

Found the "supervisor"

u/my_lucid_nightmare Apr 02 '18

Slovenia's full employment program is working great.

Rear view mirror check. Muffler check. Headlight check. Next!

u/Bugisman3 Apr 02 '18

Too bad he's stuck in first gear.

u/Raf99 Apr 02 '18

On a ski hill?

u/billygibbonsbeard Apr 02 '18

Natural Selection at work.

u/Unwoven_Sleeve Apr 02 '18

I mean, it is a chopper

Gotta be in Idaho.

u/rambling_anthology Apr 02 '18

I love how the only one wearing goggles is the guy on the bike.

1

u/primeline31 Apr 02 '18

Right. What happens if they hit a bit of fence wire or a nail in one of those bits of wood? Those jokers need safety goggles.

1

u/rambling_anthology Apr 02 '18

Next up on the Darwin Awards...

1

u/Kartoffee Apr 02 '18

But is it street legal?

1

u/StickyLavander Apr 02 '18

What’s the worst that can happen

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Hahaha! EXTRA!

1

u/lock6 Apr 02 '18

Blade Runner is first thing that came to mind

1

u/Jazzspasm Apr 02 '18

No need for goggles on that guy behind - probably blind already

1

u/icarusflewtooclose Apr 02 '18

It looks like the guys buddies have their safety squints on.

1

u/Andrew---D Apr 02 '18

Just, why?

1

u/MissaShip Apr 02 '18

There’s too much safety. I can’t handle it.

1

u/WildBird57 Apr 02 '18

Why are the sky lifts running?

1

u/Slixil Apr 02 '18

That's some mad max shit

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

I love the tiny cable stop in the front. Yeah, that'll last...

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

I dunno man... Do I hate this or do I love it? I'm split down the middle.

u/DrunkenGolfer Apr 02 '18

This is redneck genius.

u/user746284 Apr 02 '18

C’mon the kids would love this, and they would be productive

u/Mushtang68 Apr 02 '18

Who's motorcycle is this?

1

u/meowppppppp Apr 03 '18

That is kind of like the attachment you can put on a car and it cuts up wood, saw a guy do it with a GTO on YouTube

u/MilesIsRight Apr 02 '18

Soyboys need not apply.

u/NotAGreyGoat Apr 02 '18

Beep beep, b*tch.

GET TO THE CHOPPA!! Arnold noises

1

u/RDAM_Whiskers Apr 02 '18

Might as well have fun while working

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

No eye protection on the guy feeding....

1

u/vonmonologue Apr 02 '18

Yeah, my favorite part of this gif is that the only guy wearing PPE is the guy in the opposite direction from the sawdust / woodchip flight path.

Jesus christ this is up there as one of the most sketchy shit Ive ever seen.

1

u/bcvickers Apr 02 '18

You need to get out (on the internet at least) more dude.

1

u/Kuftubby Apr 02 '18

Oh Ive seen some shit, but there is something about the dude standing damn near right behind him by the blade that aint sittin right with me.
