The guy sitting on the planks? He isn't a counterweight. The forces are trying to push those planks out away from the building and it appears he's simply sitting on them to provide enough friction to keep them from sliding.
If that is indeed the case, all he has to do is shift his weight wrong and the whole thing tumbles down.
