People think this is crazy, but the crazy thing is this technique has been used for almost 3000 years! The Great Wall of China was built using bamboo scaffolding. The fact this technique has endured in modern construction zones still amazes me and says a lot about the crazy bastards who developed this in the first place.

How many people do you think died from this technique in 3000 years? We've come a long way since then, lives are not expendable anymore.

It makes sense, bamboo is incredibly robust and flexible, cheap and light. Also it grows very fast, in many places and generates very little waste (it can be recycled, burned for heat, etc.) It would be crazy not to use it ! Bamboo is fascinating, it has so many uses..
