Yes you would because there are more deaths from roof accidents than motorcycles and one more cause you walked into that one

If anything that just proves Darwin's theory - your average M/C is more clever than your average couch surfing roofer.........

I've walked into worse

I was not worried about the sofa falling off....more the people...2001 stats

Coroners’ reports of 1035 deaths possibly related to building features were examined to assess their usefulness in identifying the cause of slip, trip and fall (STF) fatalities. Of the total, falls accounted for over 80%. Of the STF deaths, 61.4% related to falls on stairs, 6.7% to falls from steps or ladders, and 5.5% to falls from windows or roofs. About 60% of total fall fatalities involved infirm persons; alcohol was involved in 60% of the falls in the un

Funny cause the roof was fixed to the walls of the house so you would think that being on the roof would be safe eh?

A bit ingenious though as these stats are from UK. They include suicides, falls through thatched rooves etc, but I can find no mention of anyone falling from a roof while using it for spectating.

Hey it was quick and easy.............but in the UK at the same time 609 motorcyclist were killed so still safer..keep up..

Well if someone fell of a roof they were not spectating at the time surely

Although, I should have said roof surfing coucher, or couch roofing surfer.......

falls through thatched rooves etc

Do they still have many thatched rooves in the old country ?

It would have been quicker and easier if you had also left in the last sentence. "Information in coroners’ reports is generally insufficient to link building features to injuries; better approaches to data collection are required."

but in the UK at the same time 609 motorcyclist were killed so still safer..keep up..

So 57 people (5.5% of 1035) died from falls from rooves and windows compared to 609 who died while riding motorcycles. Which is safer?

Exactly. So what is unsafe about spectating from a roof?

As they are included I guess there must still be some. Never having been there I can't comment from personal knowledge. Maybe Grahameeboy can?

Feck I'm so out of rep for people.

They do in odd places but thatchers is a dying are. The roofs last longer than tin roofs...
