James Kingston, a 25 year old daredevil from Hampshire,
climbed the Eiffel Tower at 1am with no safety precautions. That’s right - no
safety harness or safety ropes! James, who has previously climbed Wembley
Stadium, The Princess Tower in Dubai and Dnipro Towers in Ukraine without any
safety precautions in place, evaded the security guards and CCTV, but was
finally caught by security and arrested at 9am. He was released without charge
but was banned from climbing the Eiffel tower for 3 years.
This got us thinking about all of our customers who regularly
work at height in a number of different industries, and about how dangerous
their work really is. We at SafetyLiftinGear cannot stress enough just how vital
it is to use the correct safety equipment, such as specialist
harnesses, fall arrest blocks, and safety ropes to prevent any accidents or
injuries if you suddenly slip or fall from a structure.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear/ we have a large variety of safety
harnesses, from a basic full body rescue harness through to specialist rope
access and insulated harnesses. Stay safe when you are working at height, and don’t
try to recreate James’s stunt while operating at height.
