There are a couple of interesting aspects you can gather from that photo.

1. Why is the pitchfork thing being extended by another aluminum pole in the photo? Hmmm...maybe seeing the person holding the pitchfork gave too much real perspective?
What about the guy with the snake hook in the background. Why isn't he holding it up with that?

2. Here's a project to try - get a couple of 3-4 foot aluminum rods like those seen in the photo. Slide one inside the other. Now tie three 50lb bags of concrete together and pick up the bags like the person in the photo is holding up the "170lb" snake. Try picking up even a single 50lb bag that way. Hmmmm....doesn't seem possible now does it? Even holding up 30lbs that way is very difficult, 170lbs is absurd.
