Spiderman-like antics becomes internet hit.
A window-cleaner whose Spiderman-like antics on a restaurant building in Bath became an Internet hit has been fined £2000 for breaching health and safety regulations. Wayne Terence Mallon, a self-employed window-cleaner trading with Terence Mallon as Terry Mallon and Sons Cleaning Services, was filmed by a passer-by working his way from window to window without any safety precautions on the third floor of the Loch Fyne restaurant in Bath in September 2012.
He was seen coming out of a third-floor window some 40ft above the ground, and climbing over the stone balustrade around the building to get from window to window. He then climbed out of a second-floor window and used the narrow stone lintels above each opening to move around.
Mallon was not wearing any fall restraint, and there were no other measures to prevent, or mitigate the consequences of a fall. The video footage was uploaded to YouTube and has been viewed more than 90,000 times to date
