Safety First!

Because a lot of the apartment buildings in Korea have very narrow halls (and often, like mine, no elevators) it's very common for Koreans to use trucks like these when they move to get their stuff in and out.
However if you look at the guy at the top on the small platform with the tabletop, you'll notice there's no guard rail and he doesn't have any kind of safety harness. He's 5 floors up. If anyone bumps him or the truck, or if he slips, he's falling to his death. And yet every time I've seen these trucks (I see them at least a few times a month) I've never seen them with safety equipment. These guys are nuts.
