20 People Injured From Leaning On Shovels At Napier St Roadworks Working Bee

Epsom Road Works Joins Great Wall of China As Only Man Made Structure Visible From The Moon

VicRoads is looking into a number of incidents at the local roadworks working bee after 20 people were injured.

Most of the accidents were caused by leaning on shovels while pretending to look busy. A supervisor said “500 people turned up but no one had any idea what to do.”

One man lost an arm when he leaned on a shovel that was facing upside down. Another man had his foot amputated after his son ran a steamroller over his leg while holding a stop sign. The mans foot would have been saved if he wasn’t wearing crocs on a construction site.

WorkSafe is looking into the issue.
