I'll be brave now!
I was on a site in a city with xxxx letters :face-huh: back in the 80s
the shored test pit was around 5 meters deep You try doing levels at the bottom of that!
Anyway... it was time to pull the shoring out.. and I climbed in to attach the chains to pull out the steel shoring sheets... job done, the JCB pulled, and as I hung on one handed to the trench side, the shoring sheet came flying across the narrow trench... aaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiii!!! I flattened myself against the side and there was a terrible sound of ripping.......
Fortunately for me, it was the entire back of my trowsers being ripped off! For others.. it was not pleasant .. as my bare buttocks were now neatly framed! I think that taught me a lesson.... don't be a smart ar## as you will end up sliced in two... now where is my H&S manual.
