US Windows Cleaner Falls from the six-floor

 New direction for my blog.  Since my readers are few and far between cumming from a few different places.  It’s not any fault of yours or mine, rather just the subject matter.  With so many other sites focused on the same subject I thought it would be a good time to go back to the sites basic idea.  Bring news and information about window cleaning to the masses.

US cleaner beats six-floor tumble

Window cleaners [file pic]Alex Clay says he realised he had no choice but to let go

An American window cleaner who fell from the outside of a building six floors up has survived the “surreal” tumble with minor injuries.

Alex Clay, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, told the BBC he was forced to hold on with bare hands after colleagues had trouble connecting his harness.

But as they tried to repair the line Mr Clay said he became overcome with tiredness and was forced to let go.

A safety line failed, but his fall was broken before he hit the pavement.

An overhanging roof on the first floor broke his fall, and he hit the cement roof before he bounced onto the pavement.
