Pool. Floating dock. Strapped on scissor lift. Definitely in the SOP binder ;)

This is definitely unstable -- a lever arm that long is going to sway like hell.

Additionally, normally when working at heights you should be harnessed and clipped on. But if this thing tips over, you'd spend precious moments trying to unclip while underwater. A conundrum to be sure.
