When ya mate is a divvy

[eggsarascal]

This morning I was footing a ladder for a mate who was replacing a down pipe, the tw@t yanked at the main pipe and the ‘swan neck’ bit pictured came down at what seemed like breakneck speed, towards my head, I’ve had better starts to a day.

Looks like cast iron too?

That could've been a real sore one.

 

Been lucky a few times lately too.

Had my helmet knocked off by an unintentional crane movement when chaining up, got dragged to the base of a tree (but not up it thankfully) by a rigging rope when the portawrap slipped, then nearly got hit from behind by a tanker speeding through our works at roadside.

 

Some days the gods are on our side.

It is cast, and it didn’t half hurt, do you know that sickly feeling?
