I don't think Amazing is quite the right way to describe this Shocked

seen the first link way long ago and the 2nd has a date of 2006 so these are old news, however the first is an impressive viewing of idiots not marking out lanes to protect themselves; along with the guy on top the gantry rushing down and about to run in front of moving traffic.
Darwin award here, me thinks!!!! Laughing

I wonder what training course they went on. But even with training some people will still be idiots

One of the courses I was on a few years ago while going through the don'ts the instructor mentioned one job that had been stopped by a HSE guy one Sunday in Birmingham where somebody had a cherry picker with a 75ft working height at maximum then used a 3 section ladder in the basket to get the extra 25ft to complete the work

Try this link for some intresting ways to work http://www.facelift.co.uk/roguesgallery/
