The sheet was very thin and after he stepped on it the sheet gave way under him causing him to fall into the drain that was 4-5 metres deep. His artificial arms broke off and he couldn’t get out.

Costas2008 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Nothing unusual in Thailand. Holes covered with flimsy materials. No warning lights. On the roads you drive and suddenly you find a barrel in front of you as the road has been dag. Construction sites without any safety measures....so easy to get a brick on the head. I can write for hours about the lack of safety measures. But you have heard all that before........and I want to go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langsuan Man Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Get real. The company will claim that they covered the hole up with a steel plate that someone unknown removed it ( or worse, that the claimant removed it before he fell into it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
