Notice the buzz box sitting in front of the truck? He's probably just welding up a hole in the gas tank.

Well I have personally seen two more for the Darwin award.
1) I was at a junk yard once,they where working under a car YES under a car taking out a trans I think with a boom truck and had a hook around each mirror and that was it!
2) I had a place do work on my sons Fireo once and they had the rear hood open and a come-a-long hooked to the trunk latch on the body and the beam in there shop holding it in the air to work under it w/o stands ( I had a fit,when I saw it)
