And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As a child of a single mom he has known nothing but neglect, so as an adult he demands as much attention as possible. Oh yeah, he's up there illegally so maybe he'll pay a penalty.
Anonymous 8:30AM, you know what you're supposed to believe, and the photo is well above lethal fall height. However, I know a person that was in a tree, and the rope broke (long story as why). The measured distance of unimpeded fall, with gear, was 30 ft. All he got was a busted tibia end, and a greenstick fracture fibula. Pins and plates, and 6 weeks (not 8) later, he was walking unaided. 6 Months later, was running two miles. Although, I also know someone who broke their tibia and fibula just by turning wrong.
A flight attendant once fell from 6 miles up, and lived. That ain't the way to bet. Any fall above 15' is considered critical trauma from a potentially lethal height.
Gotta find a way to stand out from the crowd, I guess...

ReplyDeleteI used to have no fear of heights. Tree service climber, rock climber, hang gliding. Now, that picture puckers my ass.
ReplyDeleteNot attached anywhere, slip and oh well
ReplyDeleteIf he fell, he'd have time to learn a foreign language before he hit. - Snakepit
Deleteafter 30' it don't matter anyhoo.
ReplyDeleteWhat bothers me is the degraded metal scaffolding. I know he doesn't weigh a lot but one bad weld and some torque. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really arguing with you, but what he's hanging onto is a cage OVER the rungs a sane person would climb on.
DeleteNo great loss in any event.
ReplyDeletePisser for anyone he lands on though.
Security for this building thingie appears to be, ah...lax.
ReplyDelete. . . And a photographer!
