Be aware, one of our mentors this build season was helping with the chains when the driver asked for "Is everything clear?" and a guy said out loud "CLEAR!" He was clear himself but not the mentors. Of course, guy behind the joystick was smart enough not to move the chains, but had the driver guy just looked down to check the voltage and move the chains at the same time, who knows if we'll still be in build season.

The guy who yelled our clear is mentally impaired and is in the special ed program. We can't quite "exclude" people so he's part of us, but it's hard dealing with having a safe season and excluding people who can not be safe. We have those "liability" forms for the school but they won't save anyone's fingers or hands.
