Why is it when it comes to heights, my 'little bits' twist and turn with my stomach :o :o
I am like TheBoy and used to climb telegraph poles during my apprenticeship and I have never recovered :-[

Done the Eiffel Tower, Empire State in New York & Sears Tower in Chicago, no probs but that "pole" no way.

Interestingly don't see the point in those guys wearing hard hats - wont help if they fell off from the top  :-/

All that, casually climbing up a pole which must be swaying a bit, possibly a bit gusty and with a few awkward bits to get round, with no safety catch and with a heavy bag swinging round?

break that!

Health and Safety.....gone mad!  I'm back with the Industrial Door business.  We have to wear hard hats when working in certain places.  We tend to be near the roof, so unless the roof caves in, the hard hat will offer no protection.... and even if I was wearing three hard hats, if the roof caved in, my skull would be in close proximity to my toes.

Friend of mine used to work as a roofer and was forced to were a hard hat by health and safety his argument for not "Only two things going to hit my head while up there bird s##t or a plane, so hows a silly yellow hat going to help"  :question

I changed some fittings once at the top of a 30ft mast on a boat for my mate.  Didn't think what the fuss what about until the git started running from one side of the boat to the other.  It might only rock gently down below but 30ft up it had me holding on :)

Just a thought........................

IF he fell, there would just be a little red stain on the ground, and the drop in pressure in the head would kill him/make him black out before he hit the deck, would'nt it??

So.......St Peter would know about it before he did!!
