Yikes!!!
That pic is exactly why I only used the platforms that are made for the scaffolding. Plus they don’t flex like a 2x12 does.
The plank that broke into must have been a plank that had knots in it. Like Tony, I would only use a platform intended to be used with scaffolding.
But if you’re gonna use wood, don’t use a plank that has knots in it.
