Workers in the Belgian municipality of Brecht attempted to lift the 100-year-old stone statue from it's plinth using a hoist.

I'm surprised no one thought to stabilize it - it seemed pretty obvious it would tip over if lifted like that.

Indeed, it was so obvious that someone was there with a video camera and someone else with what sounds like an SLR, just waiting for it to go wrong.

Stick a traffic cone on it and nobody will know the difference
