Hay I am not that old and could show those whipper snappers how to walk the top of that crane backwards in a blindfold. I'll get my coat.

 

i bet you woudnt wear that silly hate he had on

[Gus McWilliam]

I love the idea of doing a bit of urban exploration but in reality id get 30 feet up and panic lol.

[Mortimer Firewood]

It's all right walking along beams and reasonably flat rafters most iron monkeys fell at hips or at the apex . Never had a fear of heights just a fear of hitting the deck.

Would I get up and do it now no way in this world.

 

Fair play to them for getting there rush from climbing better than hard drugs or joyriding there only going to kill them selfs. I feel sorry for his mum but if people did not push the boundaries it would be a bit boring the lad that started close proximity climbing craze started by climbing things.

in me younger days, I used to erect steel buildings, before the days of cherry pickers, safety nets and harnesses, standing on the top of rakers and walking up them 40/50ft in the air got the better of me, was pleased to get out of that job!!!

 

a lad I worked with used to walk across motorway bridge handrails with his eyes closed, that's a nutter!!!

[wicklamulla]

The change to pickets made the job a lot better. All the old erectors use to be piss heads I think that's what kept there nerve many mornings I use to look at the rafter and think which one do I step on as I was seeing double from the nights antics.

When I started on the gang on my first day it was make bolts up or walk purlins out if you did not do it you had a kick up the ass and down the road. It seems to me like some of the younger generation could do with a bit of that treatment.

now that brings back memorys, down the pub every dinner time we the crane driver. used to like walking the purlings out as it were something to hold onto.

[Mortimer Firewood]

There use to be three erectors in our gang so it was 3 6 or 9 pints at dinner time if the crane driver liked a drink we never use to get back that day or sometimes the next.

Feel sorry for his mum, but as they say "Your here for a good time Not a long time" its his life!

[phill]

Proper nutters,all I could think when he were dangling off that crane is that would be the wrong time to get a sweaty hand
