Im assuming he no longer works in this type of work ?

Edit** Just having another look over the video, cant tell if what he was doing id right or wrong .scratch By the looks of things, he's in the wrong I think.

Do you know what actually happened Hot?

I was trying to search for that for ages!! I knew they had been a post with that video in before! The bit that confuses me is, what actually makes he slip? When he takes both hands from the ladder ?

When i first watched that post in the other thread, i didn't know he even had an harness on at first when he takes both hands of the ladder! Wouldn't dream of doing that, harness or no harness ./cyclops
