If you listen carefully about 20 seconds in, you can here the site agent screaming from his cabin "WHERE'S YOUR BLOODY HARDHAT"

Scary to think about now, but back in the early 80's there was a pipeline project running through Berkshire/Buckinghamshire somewhere and at the time I was doing some ag contracting with one of these...
I was going from one farm to another when I came to a metal bridge about 7' wide over a very deep trench. The header was 12' wide but as the bridge had no guard rails as such, and only a raised foot high edge that wasn't an issue although there was a debate about weight (apparently it was only designed for cars) but the site foreman was happy to see me across. I didn't immediatly notice all work had stopped to watch me cross until I realised the front tyres were actually perched on top of the raised edges of the bridge. Don't somehow think I'd get away with it now.
