ScottBailey Just been reminded of this! Got to have some serious scones, or too many screws loose to go ahead with it. In case you didn’t know, no, he did not survive. Parachute failed! RIP
ScottBailey Wouldn’t want to get caught up there if a storm rolled in. Imagine dropping your screwdriver!

-si- ScottBailey Absolutely no fucking chance whatsoever. My palms sweat like fuck watching that shit. Mad bastards climbing up there no. As someone said, the safety harness was slide onto a rung of the ladder, likely if you fell and bounced the hook would come off.
ScottBailey It’s bad enough dropping a screw to the floor at the top of a step ladder… Some of those rungs they’re climbing though look like twigs! And the fact that he’s hooking onto something for safety that doesn’t have an edge and the clasp could just slide off! F##k a duck!
Dubman ScottBailey When I look back at some of the things I used do working off a triple ladder without anyone footing it. I’m so glad health & safety got much stricter in the building game. I did stop working outside unless it was scaffolded.
ScottBailey Dubman Agreed. Remember having to re-lamp some T8 fluory’s at the apex of a warehouse roof in a timber merchant’s off of a wooden 3′er, with only the width of a girder to rest the ladder on and a tool box to foot the ladder, when I was doing an apprenticeship many moons ago. The bend and bow in the ladder was frightening. NEVER again!
Dubman ScottBailey After I qualified & left the firm I done my apprenticeship with to start my own business up. I used to say yes to everything just to get money coming in. Painting gables off a ladder on my own. Absolutely dreading going into work each day.
