Bird-brained or Innovative?

People can be dumb sometimes.  The people who did these stunts may have had the natural 

consequence of getting hurt. However, they may also have figured out smart ways to solve problems.

Balanced Earth-Mover

"Uh, guys?  I don't know if you ever thought of this, but if that earth-moving equipment falls, you will almost certainly be squished into a pulp!"

These people appear to be relaxing under a backhoe loader which is balanced on its front loader (on the left), and backhoe (on the right).  Some may see this as extremely stupid, but others may think they found a creative way to obtain shade.

Not Afraid of Heights?

"Uh, sir?  Have you ever thought about how much you are trusting your makeshift scaffolding?  One false step and you're done for!"

If this guy falls off of those little boards, he has a long drop beneath him, and probably nothing but concrete to cushion his fall.  However, he did find a way to paint the window.
