My mate got hoisted up onto a coach at the three dayer, the guy then walked off without checking she got up ok and after trying to cling on she fell to the ground :p
So yeah allthough it’s good, always be carefull!!
hope she wasn’t too badly hurt…
I like climbing stuff, have no fear of heights and often get up to roofs etc particularly to take photos but you always have to look after yourself and not take stupid risks…
Last weekend I got into the compound where the big comms tower was in the woods. I was tempted to scale it, but in the end thought nah, this is an active comms tower, there is radiation up there.
Not worth shocks and RF burns (like being microwaved -ouch!) or cancer, nor falling off the thing (I was well spangled TBH).
there wasn’t even a sign with the safe and danger zones on there like on mobile phone repeaters :groucho:
I wouldn’t climb pylons either, even though there is a lot of barbed wire before you can reach the really dangerous bits if locals see you up there they sometimes call 999 for “your own safety” and you are then baiting up the rave.
Other stuff is OK if you are careful – but recently I was at some rave where this lad went splat on the ground from the top of a 15 foot hay stack.
Then because of sketchy parking people in the crew actually had to assist the Ambulance and Police in bringing equipment to the casualty, who ended up in the James Paget with various broken bones.
Not only must it have been frightening and painful for him (he was on various drugs), its cost the NHS at least £1200 to fix him, and thats when the rest of society starts to whinge about the impact of raves and drug culture on the rest of the community – and that crew (which is otherwise a good bunch of people) gets a rep for being “irresponsible”.
