Just to think, we had one of those at Uni, and not one of us thought about bolting a chair to it and taking a "ride"

Talking

That's just excellent - those involved are "Out of the box" not like the bean-counters (Sorry "Been kownters that are spewyed of of youkneevercity" today)

From what I have been seeing recently on news channels there is a fledgling uprising against the ludicrous H&S monster that has crept up on us over the last 10 years or so.

Warning signs like - "Caution - Vehicles in the road"

Grannies in leafy hamlets tending bedding plants - Decked out in day-glo jackets and surrounded by traffic cones.....

You guys know the score, it's time for a change.

You cannot legislate for idiots like Nu Labia

To be fair H & S does have it's place, but it should be kept in check using common sense

You should see some of the stuff that goes on over here if you think the world would be better of with no regulation

All very well saying H&S sucks but if that was your wife working reception at a factory and they put her head through the floor while "playing" on their lunch break.......you'd be asking some questions!

Distance head to floor had better be pretty well calculated - I wasn't laughing at the first five seconds of that film.

I have to admit I did have the same thought.

Was a little worried at first.

I'm hoping they did a few test runs before strapping someone in! How often do these things go off program?

I can imagine you're the type that spouts nonsense, as above, and then would be the first to complain when things go wrong.
We can't legislate for you talking through your trumpet end
