Searching for signal

Spotted last week in Bromsgrove, UK, a man stares nonchalantly into his mobile phone screen whilst standing on a flat roof without any form of edge protection.

I know what you're thinking. No, this is not the start of a slapstick comedy scene. The man is around nine metres up and has navigated his way to the third storey of this terraced house via three ladders up through some questionable scaffolding. If he were to fall the ends of the scaffold poles certainly look like they could do some serious damage.

Perhaps better phone reception but while this is nowhere near the worst example of working at heights that we’ve seen, its certainly one for the Death Wish series.
