While putting up some 15 mil last summer, we had the Safety Officer for our

building SPAM.

He mentioned he investigated 3 deaths from falls off a six foot step ladder.

This was while we were slapping the film up with the aid of a SIX Foot step ladder,

not the kinda shizz you want to hear while trying to do your job safely

Yep...But I see the results of what happens every day with my dad, and less often, but often enough with my cousin. I'm just WAY to valuable to lose to something stupid like that.

That's why I price high, and cherry pic. It's my key to longevity.

Man..I wish I had some pics of some of the crap I've done. But what you posted there, even though we've all done similar stuff without fear, can end up not so good.

I never use to bat an eye over any of that stuff, I was a roofer for cryin out loud. But knowing what I know now, coupled with the fact that I'm not 25 any more, makes me think long and hard every time I climb.

OT, do you really want your obituary to read, " he died in the backseat of caravan,

whilst applying the dark sticky stuff to the windows"

It would be more glamorous to read " he died, falling off a ladder , headfirst into the coffee table "

sl*t.

I don't believe you are up there that high. That's seriously @^*+$# high for Pete's sake. I've never seen a tinter make those heights.

I'm with OT.... a scaredy cat and loving it.

If I had some sort of brain fade and had to take a job on like that, I'd only do it with specialty scaffolding equipment.

hope you charged a premium for the risk you took... tho I'm sure some of us will feel that its not worth the risk no matter what you charged

I once bid on R&R film job at launch control KSC, Florida in the 80's... submitted my bid, but pulled at the 11th hour... did not want to R&R from a cherry picker as high as 50 ft. with the glass sloping 26 degrees away from me... Exterior, on the coast with a constant breeze...

The coolest thing I ever tinted was the crawlers that take the shuttle and (other space vehicles) out to the pad... they have control boxes at each end for the operator that were all glass... even then it was a three story stair climb to get to the box...

Been as high the same as sl*t's pick... only once.
