ironworkers / construction workers apparently have the 4th most dangerous job in the world and looking at these photos and videos it’s easy to see why. out of every 100,000 construction workers, 48 die due to work-related accidents.

one thing i wouldn’t suggest if you’re in that line of work is lying back on a girder at the top of a half-built skyscraper in order to pose for a photograph. if the insurance company find out they may be reluctant to pay out if you do fall half a kilometre and somehow survive.

the next 2 photos are of mentalists who aren’t even ironworkers, they just fancied risking life and limb for a decent shot.





if that hasn’t made you feel queasy enough, have a quick look at the videos below. insanity.
