Hi all
Talking to a old mate i used to know when i worked for Deborah Grayston many years ago and he reminded me of a accident on a job we were doing .
We were scaffolding the NatWest building and we had got up to about six or seven lifts and the job was fully decked on all lifts and it was going good as you had all the women in there summer clothes walking around, it was distracting a bit but that certain day we had a new top hand who said he had been doing it for a far few years so we thought fair enough lets see what the gezzer is made off so the 21's where coming up for the lift and we were topping up as we went along but on this particular top up that the new top hand had come across was at chest height and my mate asked him as you do ' are you alright with that mate or shall i do it ' but the gezzer said that he did these all time and he would make it fly on so he thought f*** it let him do it , anyway we were watching him do it and you could tell straight away as he was standing wrong to far back from the top up and it just looked all wrong but before we had chance to get him to put it back down the asshole had dropped it and it was heading towards a range rover and i never forget as it was bright green and the next thing it had landed on top of the roof and done the roof right in and smashed the front screen and done the bonnet infact it was right mess ( could not believe it )but the worst thing was that this stupid ass was giving it the 'big un', so we've gone down and by that time there was a bit of a crowd but we were so glad that no one got hurt so ive made the phone call to the office and they were not impressed!! and had come out with in ten minutes and fired the gezzer striaght away and was giving the chargehand the propper grief but you know ,no one got hurt and i would imagine the insurance coughed for the range rover .
If it has happened to anyone else or something like that i would love to hear it
