[Gazwag]

There is no way on earth he would be allowed to do that today H&S Exec would have a fit.

 

[Northstander]

The end he even says .."you could ride a bike up here?"

No safety ropes?!

Just sat on a swinging wooden plank with what looks like old ropes holding it up?

My word.

Christ on a bike! That's mental. Makes my toes go all tingly.

So much respect for people like Fred Dibnah.

Ive just spent the last 2 days working through god knows how many power point slides for health and safety training for my job including loads on working at height and its a breath of fresh air watching Fred Dibnah How times have changed.

i love the way that when most wouldnt dare to go up, he is near the top actually at the overhang part, just admiring the brickwork

 

[severnside gull]

he was a great bloke - a real character. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and his enthusiasm was infectious. How his poor wife suffered - it was impossible to differentiate between his house and his workshops!

He was married 3 times so your probably right

I'm not scared of heights at all but i would still NEVER do that. What a man!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

I'd do it. But then I'm silly like that

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

That made me squim in my chair.

In my younger days I've done building and window cleaning but was always uncomfortable with ladders & heights.

Watching things like that really has a physical affect on me, the tingling in the toes, as someone else mentioned.

We used to have an expression on the buildings when we had to go on to a ledge that was a bit hairy.................................................

half a crown / sixpence.

[Stoo82]

[Ninja Elephant]

I got vertigo just watching that video. I then watched the chap who walked on the wire between the twin towers.
