It’s only “basically impossible” if it’s on a firm platform. If it’s on a gimbal, like a plastic floating thing, then you don’t really now where the tipping point is going to be because it depends on the flexibility of the platform.
Probably why the bottom is also anchored to the floating work surface. This implementation looks like exactly what you’re supposed to do. There’s lots of pearl clutching for some reason.
Who says this is exactly what you’re supposed to do?
If you’re ever working at height and you think it’s safer without a harness so you’re not killed to death by whatever you’re standing on it’s probably a good time to reassess.

Safe work sites aren’t “pearl clutching”.

those blocks are not that flexible*
never seen them at festivals or some such?
they’re much stiffer than they appear at first glance!
*if they’re properly linked
Any flexibility will change the physics.
Guaranteed the specs on that lift say it can only be operated on the ground.
Guaranteed the specs on that dock say it’s not suitable for supporting anything at any height.
