Necessity is the mother of invention; but sometimes her offspring is questionable.

The ingenuity of man never ceases to amaze and bewilder. And for every great invention – the steam locomotive, the internal combustion engine, the jet aircraft, the Space Shuttle, and the iPhone – there is a Sinclair C5.

Instead, they have opted to suspend a Bobcat compact loader – and it’s unfortunate operator – from a crane to catch it when the floor upon which it is standing all-too-predictably collapses.
