I had visions of him tapping away at the concrete and the hand falling away from under him - I'd have been oh the other side!

Interesting video, pretty scary.

In this country you would have to have tethered tools so if you dropped them they would not fall to ground, easy put a hammer into someones head below! Think the ropes would be different too, if he fell off the arm it would just slam him straight into the body of the statue!
