People Who Thought Things Were Fine, But They Weren't
Some people are convinced they have everything under control, but the truth is they are exposed to danger and disregard the risks.
The following images show workers ignoring safety measures on construction sites and disregarding the risks they face if they fall from a ladder or work on hazardous structures.
These photos reveal people's tendency to underestimate risks and their overconfidence, which could lead to failed experiments or unforeseen accidents.
Furthermore, they aim to highlight important lessons about caution and remind us that, even when we think we have everything under control, external factors can have fatal consequences.
Here are some photos showing creativity when you have a job to do.
