A group of supermarket employees attempt to slingshot a co-worker sitting in
a shopping cart off of a ramp in a new video entry, called “Shopping Cart
Bungee” on the Montana State Fund’s No-Jack Website. Just before the
launch, an employee bystander states, “This has got to be the dumbest thing
I’ve ever seen.” Instead of hitting the ramp and soaring as planned, the
cart careens into a parked car with the
“less-than-the-brightest-bulb-on-the-block” daredevil flying over the hood
and the co-workers scattering in all directions. The clip ends with the
message, “Don’t be a jackass at work.”
Other video entries on the website include sword fights with
cattle prods and rolling down a hill in a tractor tire. A play on the MTV
Network’s show “Jackass,” the state workers compensation insurer late last
month launched the “Don’t Be a Jackass at Work” safety campaign. In
addition to submitting and watching videos, Montana residents can take a
quiz and enter a contest to win one of four Nintendo Wii videogame consoles.
“Being safe in your workplace starts with being smart,” says the Website at www.nojack.net.” “And being smart starts here. Sorta.”
