There are quite a few selfie deaths each year, I believe.

Not sure that a safety helmet would save her if she fell.

Christ I used to have an indesit washer/dryer. Worst buy ever, problematic, eventually working after many engineer visits with the copper coil clicking, gave it away after a year. Never bought indesit again. Might have even been that model.

Via ferratas are great fun when the weather is nice - but less so when the metal bits get a bit damp. But in winter? He's braver than me!

The last thing he’ll do before plummeting to his doom is splatter his bollocks all over a bit of rebar steel sticking out of a cliff face. Horrible way to go.

Interesting - well, terrifying. So how the hell did they fix them in the first place?

He is tied on with a shock-absorbing lanyard (that's the red bit of webbing in the photo). So when he falls, the rebar will rip open his scrotum, then he'll be dangling about 15' lower, trying to find a way to climb back up before he bleeds to death.

That's reminded of that poor bugger - Toni somebody? - who dangled off the North Face of the Eiger for several days before dying.

It's been a few years, but I remember that. And I was working on a shitty laptop at home.

as would the word "ship" if the respondent had used any measure of reading comprehension to consider the context.

Neat retort by UKDJ
