Death Wish 5

Another day and several readers sent in more pictures of crazy people with a death wish. Today’s example comes from a reader in Germany which snapped this window cleaner earlier this year in his home town.

Having climbed his ladder our man climbs onto the ledge and shimmies along to the far window and starts cleaning

The man climbs up his ladder well beyond the point he should, then transfers from the ladder to the window ledge which is wide enough for half his foot, so a tip toes job this one.

In spite of his precarious position it does not stop our man having a stretch to reach the upper window

He then shifts sideways to the far window, and holding on with one hand starts cleaning the upper window panes which he can just reach at a stretch. Given the height and the volume of windows, this man needs powered access.
