50 workers died installing it though.
What about the other 9.981 workers?
How many voulders/burgers/schoolbusses are these?
I once did a flip from the framework of a building that was being constructed, onto the safety net in the middle... I'm not sure what I expected the outcome to be but it bloody hurt.
Meanwhile, here in Brazil, workers that fell during the Rio-Niterói bridge construction were just mixed with the concrete.
They were less careful because there was a net.
How many workers died installing the net?
thats almost 20 workers!
You can say it a net worth of 19 workers
The construction workers, that installed the safety nets.
