Now, I'm not going to say this guy is the brightest bowling ball in the knife drawer, but from what I am seeing, he isn't in nearly the jeopardy the other guy is putting himself. It appears he is planning on using the crates and the pulley to remove the engine, which he will at least need to do from out from under the car. If / when the crates or the pipe(?) holding the pulley collapse, the engine will likely just crush the front of the car, not him.
