After a motorcycle crash left him with an 80% leg disability, Austrian chef Peter Lammer created a ceiling rail system that lets him move around the kitchen and continue working.
Lmao, damn, imagine them telling you they rigged it so that you still had to come in and work after a tragic accident left you disabled. Big question here is what happens when you need to hit up the restroom quickly?
Look, I get it if you didn't see video with the metal bar curved outwards and a dude that seems to slide and spin it around without looking and cruise down the line. I understand they've probably learned to deal with this, but don't be stupid on purpose and try to argue it wouldn't happen.
Don't forget, those other chefs were probably amazed by this for the first few days, then it just became part of the scenery of the job. It's really interesting how some people just adapt to shit.
Nothing different from the usual in a kitchen, you call when you're moving around someone or carrying something sharp or hot. While the arm means you gotta give a wider berth than just his body alone would need, it doesn't look like the system takes up any more space than some of the fatter cooks I've worked with
I was just thinking about that. It doesn't have a very big "footprint", so I don't think it'd take more than a single shift for everyone to get fully used to it. And it's an assistive system rather than something that's fully keeping him upright so a little bump here and there is perfectly fine.
A chef, I mean. NO jk I was talking about the rig. That would make work in the shop way easier. I expect widespread adaptation and I hope he has a patent on this.
Nothing in this is patentable, it's standard overhead lift that has a low profile chair attached. Most large item fabrication plants have something similar set up for material movement, but I've seen this same style of rig used for an aircraft mechanic.
It probably is! You can design and make something yourself without it needing to be novel enough to patent, indeed drawing inspiration from a proven system (and being able to use off-the-shelf components) is usually the best way to do it.

I imagine that took some getting used to for he and the other chefs, but it looks like a brilliant design.

Its incredibly brilliant, nice to see someone recognize that

Do you like your basil garnish, Walter?

I love that he keeps doing what he loves. Still makes me sad they aren't just covered to just exist without having to do extra steps to work.

He seems hooked on cooking

The story is sad but the device is amaze. Majorly reduced slip and falls also ergonomic

I always fantasized about having something like this, just because I'm lazy. Hats off to the chef!

As someone who loves to cook, but has difficulty standing for more than a minute or two, I too and interested...

Can we jokingly call it a "Lazy Peter" ?

They actually call it the "Standing Ovation", but I like yours better :)

Now I need that video of the place that made adjustments to their kitchen so the girl with no legs could learn how to cook and be a chef...

You expect but this has been around for like a decade or more and its not. Speaking as a disabled ex-chef.
