Video: This might be the shoddiest one-man demolition job of all-time

Cowboys Ted, they're a bunch of cowboys

Cowboys Ted, they’re a bunch of cowboys

There’s a reason why a hard hat and boots are essential requirements for any worker on a construction site because accidents are inevitable.

Any builder, electrician or labourer will be able to tell you their own horror stories about the worst that could happen on a site but we would like to think that only a handful of these trips to the hospital were self inflicted.

Take a look at this man in Lebanon that’s trying to knock down a wall in the worst way possible.

To paraphrase Father Liam Deliverance from Father Ted, “sure you could talk that into coming down, shoddy shoddy workmanship”.

We hope that you wouldn’t see any of this carry on in Ireland, thank god he managed to get out of the way though, because those bricks came tumbling down very quickly.

Granted the wall is demolished but there’s much safer ways of going about the job.
