A day at the office?
by yddraig » Oct 28th, '10, 11:18
Saw this and decided I quite like working no higher than a third floor office.

Enjoy, or not. (If scared of heights, strap yourself in first......)

.QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

On the plus side... that's one insta-death workplace accident that would give you ample opportunity to contemplate the meaning of life and your own mortality as it approached.
If a professional driver makes a mistake on the road he could be dead in less than a second.
Ditto divers, electricity workers and more besides.
This guy - if he falls and doesn't hit anything on the way down - gets over 11 seconds to make his peace and come to terms with the unavoidable fact that his life is about to end (at about 190mph).
Talk about asking for it though!
I can almost imagine Death (that is, the Terry Pratchett version) saying
SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM
Other than the constant stomach-turning (not a heights thing - just being untethered) the thing that really got me was hooking his backup safety line (the large hook) into the screwgate carabiner once he got to the top. Talk about missing the point of redundant kit!
