Good grief. Anyone else notice the ladder moving as he climbed up? Wonder how old and rusty the bolts securing it are...

I have to climb some big cranes in my job. I have a twin tail harness and Iβm hooked into the man safe system at all times. There is no way that Iβd be climbing chimneys like he did, as for the overhang f**k. I live near Bolton, where Fred lived, and I would often see him on the M60 in his old Landrover. Last of a breed Iβm afraid π

Legend. Great videos thanks lads, enjoyed them. H&S, RAMS, not invented. He survived without all that paperwork. Somehow!
