Sorry, this is only very vaguely "transport" related but a friend with whom I've done a bit of walking in Spain sent this to me. We got to some paths that did worry me at times but nothing to match this, and we weren't trying to negotiate the hazards whilst looking through the viewfinder of a camcorder!

It wouldn't (I hope) happen here. The HSE would close it to the public

Hi

Give a thought for the soles that made that path!

I have a extreme fear of Edges, Hights are scary but but Edges ooo

That video made my stomache go just like when I was walking in some mountains, there was a path with loose gravel and it was very steep. Some friends were walking like that chap, I was crawling on hands and knees, and grabbing plants, never again!

Even driving on roads by the cliffs/sea do it for me or sheeting up a silage pit, walking allont the wall holding onto the plastic, shudder!

Cheers

Dave

You think that route is bad.

Here is what my son-in-law does for a living

I have a friend who used to do quite a lot of rock climbing but one day about 15 years ago he fell, not far, maybe 12 feet. Unfortunately it was largish rocks he fell onto and he very badly broke his ankle. The break was so complex that the surgeon said "To be honest you'd be better having it off."
Well he didn't, but now he can't really walk more than half a mile without giving himself hours of pain thereafter.

I had to go down to the Peak District to collect Dave a number of years ago when he fell and ended up in hospital. I stayed for 3 days waiting on the hospital trying to decide what plan of action they were intending to take. In the end I had to leave him there as they were still debating what to do and what injuries he had sustained. Two days later they sent him home (with a letter saying it was a bad sprain) by train to Glasgow and I collected him from the station. I took him to the local A&E where they took him straight into theatre and operated on a fracture which had not been found at the other hospital
Had he not been discharged from the hospital for another couple of days he could possibly have been unable to climb today
