Hanging Around In Swindon! 

High-rise safety excercise all goes to plan
 
It's every crane operator's nightmare - getting stuck 200 feet up on the job.
 
So that's why SISK, the contractors responsible for developing the former Police station site in Swindon town centre, were out practicing a mock 'rescue' today just in case.
 
After completing the exercise to plan, the rescue team had to abseil down too.
