< on 1/9/2006 11:22 PM >
|  | | | what are the chances of getting arrested, maimed, or seriously injured by exploring a construction site. Is it just better to stick to abandonments and drains?
Mod edit: made title more descriptive.

What kind of construction site? Obviously common sense is your best safeguard against harm, but the type of construction site also plays a role in your well-being. Is it just a building that being constructed? Is it a refinery-type place?
The point is, they can be perfectly safe places to go with the usual UE type dangers present or, in the case of refinery-type places, they might be better left alone altogether.
*Edited to add that refinery-style sites are closely monitored by security, and it will be your ass if you're caught there. Especially in the wake of 9/11 and the possibility of terrorist activities--they're very touchy about things like trepassers and unauthorized personnel.

| | | | no, the construction sites i'm talking about are new homes and condos. last summer i volunteered at habitat for humanity, when they were doing their building blitz in scarborough (close to malvern mall). it would have been relatively easy to go exploring at these sites in the dark. but there's always the risk of stepping on a rusted nail or accidently stepping into a hole...
just on sunday, i walked by 3 condo construction sites, and it was would have been easy to jump over the wall. but, thankfully, i didn't b/c when i walked the whole perimeter of the place i was able to see inside. the outer part of the blding was surrounded by a deep pit, and if i were to have jumped over i would have plunged 20ft+++ to my death...that, my friend, would suck majorly

| | | | Construction sites often lack basic safety features found in active buildings, such as railings, walls, and floors. If your not paying attention you can bash your head, fall down a hole, or knock something over on yourself. However, the scoffolding, concrete, and wood are usually (not always) going to be a bit more structurally sound than your average rotting abandoned building, so if you keep an eye out for holes and things to trip on, you should be ok.
As with any site, paying attention to your surroundings is the first step.
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

LOL Can't you just imagine explaining this to someone who's not into UE?
UEer: "Basic safety features...you know, like floors."
Civilian: "Eh?"

| | | | same as anywhere else watch your footing and don't go swinging on random ropes where the top end is unaccounted for....
I'd trust the safety of almost every construction site more then most abandonment.. figure abandonment are left to rot, construction sites have to at LEAST function for the safety of it's workers
But then again I've gone through floors on buildings before..
