This builder learned the hard way when concrete roof collapsed inside the garage he was demolishing

Ouch. Nice one Chips
Going to show my old man that one, being a builder. He has 4 months before he retires. He has seen a few things in his time in the trade

He should have hired a chav

Looks like it crushed his leg flat. No skateboarding for him anymore! Bet that wasted the ambulances time and effort

Quick to shout help me. He should have asked the owner that to see what his response would be.....

He was shown on BBC News Friday evening, still off work having suffered very severe injuries, operations still on-going on left leg that was almost severed in accident, damaged right leg and rib cage.

See Daily Mail

Lucky lucky man. I am not a builder and do not know how to go about demolishing a garage, but i am pretty sure i wouldn't do it like that. Good news that he is making a full recovery.

As for the chav and the fence, serves the little scroat right.

Not on my PC it doesn't it shows same footage as my original post, John Weir and his accident when garage roof collapses, the story is told by Construction Enquirer but is attributed to the Daily Mail which is why that's the link description
