High Wire act

Spotted in the Del Valle area of Mexico City a telecoms worker balancing between ladder and overhead wire.

The man appears to be an employee of telecoms and communication company Axtel and clearly while he has, what looks like a well-equipped service vehicle, little thought has been given for practical work at height equipment. Hopefully he did not fall to the ground after this photo was taken.

Spotted in Mexico City an atheletic telecoms worker

He is in fact lucky to still be up there, given the angle of the ladder and his stance, although on closer inspection he does have a waist band harness and appears to be attached to either the ladder or the wire his is standing on – or both. Still a definite one for our Death Wish series.
