An odd one. What happened to raise the body I wonder?
We had a loaded truck that a fitter 'tipped' the body to get access to something underneath. The body jammed in the upright position and nothing that they tried would release it. Eventually (!) someone decided to undo a connection on a hydraulic pipe. All went well until the last moment when the fitting jumped the last couple of threads and the fitter received a head to toe shower of hydraulic oil as the (heavy) body slammed down.
Of course a wiser person would have had props to stop the body . . .
It was a hot sunny day (and the work was being performed out-of-doors) so we suggested that the fitter should lie in the sun until he was 'crisp'.
On another occasion fitters elected to start some work outside (it was hot and sunny). The workshop foreman (no fool) said "OK, but if you start it outside you must finish it outside." Of course there was a thunderstorm that lasted until they had finished the work. ;-)
