No fear scaffolders dismantle high altitude hanger

ADVERTISEMENT

Video showing scaffolders dismantling a high altitude scaffold posted by ScaffMag goes viral with 2.5 million views on Facebook.

The location of where the video was taken is unknown but many commenting on the video posted on Monday said how queasy they felt watching the 60-second clip.

The nail-biting film shows two scaffolders removing the high scaffold from the side of an unknown building. If that wasn’t bad enough a worrying fault was spotted with the scaffolders harnesses, no retrievable inertia reel is being used and their anchor points are quite questionable, to say the least.
