Safety Takes Back Seat to Fun at 340 Bond
It’s good to know that recent tragic events have led to increased on-site safety vigilance. We wonder what the official DOB position is on children playing on heavy machinery at work sites? Amazing. GMAP

What about Darwinism?
in a volvo?
No “baby on board” stickers–sorry to disappoint–but we do put our kids in car seats, it is true.
no kids here, but that attitude is the same as telling others how to rear their own children. my guess, brownstoner, is you also drive around in a volvo with a “baby on board” decal in the window. to each their own. now if the dad was holding a 40 oz. and the kid was smoking a doobie, then that might be another thing…
Out of interest, of those who think it’s cool and no big deal, how many have kids?
actually, i think it’s cool. my father is an architect, and when i was a kid, he and his business partners (of a 120+ person firm with 4 offices nationwide) would take all the kids out for supervised site tours every now and then. these were big jobs, and no one was hurt or died. lighten up. the kid is wearing a hard hat. in his mind, his dad is waaaay cooler than some other kid’s dad who sits in an office all day long and pushes paper around. how tragic.
I took the picture and sent it over to Brownstoner. That is indeed the developer/owner. I’ve had the dubious pleasure of meeting with him. Before father and son took the ride down on the pallett and before I could get to my camera they were standing at the edge and I doubt that caution tape would have prevented a fall had there been a misstep. I think Brownstoner’s commentary was meant to be tongue in cheek given the recent safety issues at other projects. This is indeed a Scarano project (matter of public record). Brownstoner had a good point a month or so back. Basically, architect know thy client.
Regardless of who’s responsible, can anyone really say that it’s cool for a little kid to be standing on a palette that’s being lifted by a crane? Waddup?
“The whole PC overly protective Park Slope mindset in nauseating….”
J___ H. C____! What else do we want to blame Park Slope for? Avian flu?
Dude, I live in Park Slope and I’ll grant you it can be the capital of the easily offended, but Bstoner lives in Clinton Hill. We don’t have to take the rap for this one.
BTW, my dad was a delivery truck driver and I’m otherwise with GrandPa on this one.
