Channon's Windmill Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 These people are bonkers! I love watching videos like this tho!
sfcuk fan Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 Point 1 = ' Wow thats f'kin awesome ! Point 2 = ' Wow thats f'kin crazy sh*t ! .
um pahars Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 [video=youtube;NLUz2-fAidM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLUz2-fAidM Not sure whether to say how amazing or how foolish!! Found it difficult to watch at times, but stunning at others!! Plus I could see my old house
saint boggy Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 OMFG!!!!...... my stomach flipped and my legs turned to jelly watching that!! .... heights are ok with me until you look DOWN. ..... I think anyone who does that sort of thing has serious issues lol
CB Saint Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 Well the penthouse of the 27 story tower will have phenomenal views. As the the lad who started dangling one handed, what a chopper.
Rusaldo Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 Great views of the city from up there. Blokes got mental issues or a death wish.
Hatch Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 that fella clearly has the part of the brain missing that recognises fear . I got nervous just watching it.
Spudders Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 So that's what Bearsy's been doing during his banning holiday yo
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 Bearsy can always be found hanging off massive erections when he is not on here spudders, everyone know that!
Secret Site Agent Posted 3 June, 2013 Posted 3 June, 2013 ****in idiot. No such thing as death by mis-adventure in construction. He falls and that's the Site Agent in prison under the H and S at work act, for failure to have a duty of care to those on site, (including trespassers).
SuperMikey Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 F*cking hell, my stomach just dropped into my nutsack. I generally don't mind heights, but dangling off the crane like that is...blergh. In other news, I was in the Pitcher & Piano earlier and it was beautiful. Didn't see any Saints players though. More updates to follow when I go back at some point.
Gemmel Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 Video been removed - Shame that was totally madness in full swing
bridge too far Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 Video been removed - Shame that was totally madness in full swing Odd - I can still see it on on the FB posting I got from 'Southampton Memories and Places' However, I couldn't watch all of it!
Wurzel Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 [video=youtube_share;2Fs0hkdJzk8]http://youtu.be/2Fs0hkdJzk8 This one still working for me, but had to confirm old enough to watch it. Old enough to watch, NEVER be stupid enough to try it !
Spudders Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 Please explain: what is the point? You could ask that of almost anything though! Different strokes for different folks I guess. When I see all the graffiti tagging around stations in London I think exactly the same. These people are paying for paint and then sneaking around in the dark climbing up stuff and hanging over things, risking injury or death, just to scribble some symbol or wording for the x amount of time, what's the point! People are strange.
Dimond Geezer Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 Don't have a problem with heights, but when you start hanging off of cranes like that......well, that's just mental. I was half expecting him to let go. Stunning view in the dawn sun though.
spyinthesky Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 Presume there must have been two of them on the climb?
Wurzel Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 I've watched this over and over, feeling slightly less nauseous every time, but you still wouldn't get me trying it in a million years. I'm at an age where I'd be struggling to pull myself back up with both hands let alone one, even if the bar was only 8ft off the ground. I've no reason to think it's not real, but when he's dangling one handed does that really look like a strong enough grip to hold his own weight? Looks like just a finger hold with no arm strength being used at all
latter day saint Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 sweet baby jesus! not a chance in hell you'd get me up there. i was stood at the bus stop on the bridge watching them build that crane & thought the view would be amazing
Sour Mash Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 That's f****g class is that. Video is a great little advert for Southampton. Anyone know what they are building there?
B Rabbit Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 We designed these skyscrapers at work =) they'll be a good set of buildings when completed
B Rabbit Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 oh... And the kid is a complete mentalist... It's was all good until he started hanging off the crane with warm arm... Crazy bastard!!

They may have caught up but they're doing that mush a disservice, that's a 27 storey building going up, that crane stands taller. There's no way it's only 150ft, he's got to be over 250ft up there!
scotty Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Holy sh*t. Never in a million years could I do that, its terrifying just watching someone else doing it.
Smirking_Saint Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 They may have caught up but they're doing that mush a disservice, that's a 27 storey building going up, that crane stands taller. There's no way it's only 150ft, he's got to be over 250ft up there! Easily 240 ft, was up a wind turbine the other day that stands at 240ft and from the ground at least the crane seems taller to me
100%Red&White Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Easily 240 ft, was up a wind turbine the other day that stands at 240ft and from the ground at least the crane seems taller to me Actually, I had a look, that crane is 92m high, over 300ft, the Echo weren't too far out with their "150ft" - well it's only twice the height!
Gemmel Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Actually, I had a look, that crane is 92m high, over 300ft, the Echo weren't too far out with their "150ft" - well it's only twice the height! Pretty sure the final sign said 50m
Big Bad Bob Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Pretty sure the final sign said 50m That's the length of the boom arm...
Gemmel Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 That's the length of the boom arm... And a perfect example of why people like me who know nothing about what they are talking about, should comment on threads like this.
Smirking_Saint Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 And a perfect example of why people like me who know nothing about what they are talking about, should comment on threads like this. Sorry Gemmel that did make me laugh a little Puts it into perspective how tall it is though
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Pretty sure the final sign said 50m What difference does it make? The fall won't kill anyone, but hitting the ground will and anything over 10m is probably going to have the same result.
Barry Sanchez Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Thats awesome, crazy and stupid rolled into one!
