Death wish on stilts

Sent in by a reader from the USA, a man not only working from a weird combination of planks resting on top of small tube system scaffold frames, but still being too short of the area he needs to plaster, he has donned a pair of stilts.

Given that the job of applying plaster to a wall is quite skilled and absorbing, you can imagine him forgetting where he is and stepping back to admire his work. If he is lucky he will fall all the way to the ground and maybe survive – possibly as a paraplegic? Alternative he could end up impaled on the scaffold tube?

A tradesman with a Death Wish

We have little to no detail, so not sure where or when it was spotted, but it must be one of the worst cases we have seen, and most definitely one for our Death Wish series.
Have a safe weekend.
