In future stick to the bamboo scaffolding

It hurts less when it falls on you

If you are on it then think of the experience as a jungle ride

Police are investigating the incident.

Better to get an expert opinion from a municipal health and safety engineer.....Err, what am I thinking of? Sorry, I'm a bit woozy today.....
