Rooftop Risks

We have become familiar with the sight of workmen scrambling upon rooftops. Not common but every so often we look out to discover workmen installing a new window, running cable, or repairing chimney stacks.

Most of the time, they work in pairs and have harnesses. The drop is five or six stories and lethal.

So, the sight of three girls smoking on the ridge of an apartment block was a cause to grab the camera. The incomprehensible risks they were taking took a few moments to fully digest. Do not forget they are also smoking. One of these two activities is going to levy a high price.

I hope they do not repeat the act but fear they will.
