A death wish storey

A reader in India has sent us a YouTube video which is amusingly entitled OSHA training film from Bombay - we will let you decide on whether this is a Death Wish or not!

Filmed from a building opposite a construction site in Mumbai, India, earlier this year, the video shows two men, barefoot and without a harness, erecting traditional bamboo façade scaffolding.

Many traditionalists might think that these clearly highly skilled scaffolders are continuing an age old tradition for which they are fully trained, therefore not constituting a Death Wish. However you might want to watch it right to the very end to appreciate just what there are doing. After that we think all will agree that “death sentence” might be a closer description!
