Vintage Photos That Show Insanely Dangerous Working Conditions Back in the Day

Ice Transporter

Wikipedia

Another photo of ice cutters at work, this shows a pair of sleds loaded high with cakes that have been harvested from a lake in Ontario some time in the 1890s. Notice the driver who stands atop the ice sled, and who has responsibility for making sure none of the ice breaks free (and who must be very careful to keep his footing secure while doing so).
