Death Wish 56

Our first death wish from Mexico, our reader took the photo’s a few weeks ago of a man working from a ladder in the central reservation of a busy highway. What he was supposed to be doing to the conch shells on a stick… we are not quite sure.

In the central reservation, our man balances on a ladder

Just list the problems, first of all this is not an ideal job for a ladder, he appears to need both hands, and he has some paint pot or other materials dangling from a rope, he is also wearing Wellington boots, hardly the most suitable footwear for the job in hand.

Not sure what he is doing to this conch shell on a stick

If the ladder were to slip off of the narrow structure he is almost certain to end up in the road, possibly under a vehicle?
