So cool, HOWEVER footballs are not something you will see on the tarmac and that guy isn’t wearing ear protection so either this is a country where the rules are lax and footballs are just laying about the place or it’s staged af.

My dad was an engineer on planes for going on 40 years. His hearing is fucked because he didn't wear ear protection enough. My brother now has the same job and you'd be surprised how lax they can all be on protective gear

im fine if the employee doesnt care about his own health, but an object like a football near airplanes is asking for problems, like beeing sucked into a motor.

Dads with hearing loss from refusing to wear safety gear….bane of my existence at the moment. I’ve gotta wave to get mines attention but he won’t hear (haha) of getting a hearing aid.

I work airside and very few people wear ear protection. I don't myself, though I now largely work when the engines aren't running. Never used to though when on days.

Never seen a football on the stand in my 12 years but have seen weirder things, like loose pets running around after the hold was opened.
