Cant agree with Mike's postpost. Kids need to grow up in such an environment, afterall it never hurt 'the majority of us'.

You must lead an insular life Mike to say its a 'balanced' view. Why don't the kids or the parents have a say? I believe even ROSPA say that rough and tumble is a critical element of growing up, and I never realised that footballs had feet, surely the likes of Pele, Best, Cruyff would be aware, but they never said anything to us? Perhaps knowledge is power.

Oh well its Friday.....have a good one!!!!!!!!

I hope you understand that if I had choked on vertigo induced vomit, my wife would have sued you for bringing this to my attention....! You must consider your audience, and some of your audience have a fear of heights (and depths....)

Thanks (I think!) for the fabulous link.

I understand that we safety professionals are supposed to advise on how to do things safely rather than ban 'em.. But, sorry, put me in the 'ban it' brigade on this one!

Disappointing. I was expecting something quite edifying or even esoteric on brick laying.

OK, WAH, PUWER, MH, REACH (maybe) Can we get something on DSE in there ?

"put me in the 'ban it' brigade on this one!"

They tried to (at least the local council put up a little gate). However as Caminito del Rey is used by climbers, nobody noticed it. Despite how it looks, it's only killed a few people in the past decade - tourists never make it over the fence.

Cavers in the UK traverse stuff like this all the time, but we have the added protection of wellies and fried breakfasts.

The serious safety message for me was that this is the best proof of Murphys 4th Law of Opportunity that I have seen in a long time. (if someone can, sooner or later someone will)
Moi, not in any lifetime but then I get giddy getting up into my 4x4!! (must be all those emissions)
If you read the comments on the page, there are, however, several clamouring for info to get there and bag it. Good luck to them I say. Why on earth ban it? Prevention through destruction would be better if it really worries society that much. Ban this sort of stuff and you make it doubly attractive.
