Posted By AlH I feel sad today after getting over the 'May contain nuts' debacle. Then read in the paper today about the H&S Advisor who has stopped a clown from wearing clown shoes. How far do we go to make a performace safe? No one wants to go back to the days were a stunt double falling off a building was a weighted dummy! http://www.telegraph.co....o-health-and-safety.html

What I want to know, is how did they conclude it was the shoes that were the problem rather than the high-wire, hoop of fire, drum-kit, trumpet or double-bass?
That said, it would have been a heck of a RIDDOR to investigate!
At least the insurers didn't insist on a hard hat this time.

Apparently he broke the metatarsal bone in his left foot.
Does this mean that we should now also ban football, as this can result in similar injuries?

It's the old adage...
Are we in this position to stop people from doing their job or to support what they do and improve/reduce the likelihood of them hurting themselves?
How many times have you heard the comment.... been told I can't do that because of H&S?

Posted By Yossarian Having read all the related articles the search engine throws up, I note it is only the Australian Courier Mail that picks up that it is the insurers who insist on smaller shoes. Check it out on: http://www.news.com.au/c...25374131-5013016,00.htmlReminds me of the Black Adder episode Duel & Duality where similar insurance restrictions applied.
