Pool. Floating dock. Strapped on scissor lift. Definitely in the SOP binder ;)

This is definitely unstable -- a lever arm that long is going to sway like hell.

Additionally, normally when working at heights you should be harnessed and clipped on. But if this thing tips over, you'd spend precious moments trying to unclip while underwater. A conundrum to be sure.

Silly, we all know that water negates all fall damage!

The only way to make this remotely safe would be harnessing to the ceiling. Although that could still be bad if it tips over and catches your foot...

I've been reading coroner inquest results and recommendations recently, which are mandatory for workplace deaths in my province.

The only thing I can think of looking at this is a coroner and five other people all drafting a document with the simple recommendation "Maybe fucking don't?"
