I just watched an episode on pigeon poop, I was very suprised to see that the safty harness as well as the lanyard were highly improperly used and if he fell over the edge, his best case cenerio would be probable major head injury. The attachment piont on his harness was way to low and would cause his hed to go flying into the building,not to mention the hand rail it was attached to most likely would not hold ,sending him to a very nasty death.If he wishes to suvive future harness nessisary episodes,i think it would be helpfull if he took a fall protection course so he would be better prepared, and still be able to bring use some cool tv.

I think we're up to 2,331 times this type of thread has come through by first time posters.

Up until now it's been annoying. However, here's a whole new take on this. For those who enjoy the show but are concerned about safety at all costs, Mike should spin-off a new show call "Safe Jobs". Mike could do these same jobs but instead of trying to be funny or actually get the job done, they could go through all of the safety precautions. He could break out the OSHA manuals and go through them step-by-step.
