If it works, it's not hybris, is it?
You say it’s working but they haven’t yet gotten back out of the lift nor have they gotten the lift back out of the water.

The only issue is they aren't wearing harnesses in case they fall off.
It's ok, i see at least one hardhat
They'll still have a brain to enjoy the quadrapeligia with
Ok I'll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.
Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what's wrong with work health and safety.
The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.
If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

Wouldn't it be better for them to be wearing life jackets instead?

If they had a short pole underwater in the middle of the belly of floating platform then it would be more stable than my 95 yo granny at 3 am on her way to the toilet
No idea how it works exactly but the sailing boats have it so to not capsize easily or at all. It actually takes great deal effort to crash the sailing boat on its side, these fuckers can go 90 degrees under heavy wind and still come back like a spring though no promise the people will be still onboard.
It’s kind of fun actually to sail almost 90 degrees on the side but scary.

Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.
