I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but I'm currently assicted to Abandoned Engineering on UKTV Play.
I'd get that looked at if I were you.

hmmm... the part I found weird is that it wasn't empty. They left the cans of soda in it. I figured the machine was there because it was an older model and may or may not have been considered junk by whoever owned it.Vending machines like that are usually operated by separate companies. It's odd that they didn't return and take away their machines.
Were the drinks in OK condition? Sounds odd, yes.hmmm... the part I found weird is that it wasn't empty. They left the cans of soda in it. I figured the machine was there because it was an older model and may or may not have been considered junk by whoever owned it.
IIRC I drank some of them and they were fine.Were the drinks in OK condition? Sounds odd, yes.
It is thought that copper has been mined at Bickerton and Gallantry Bank since the Bronze Age and by the Romans
No injury? He was lucky.Bickerton Copper Mine
Used to cycle over there as a kid.
There is a very steep railway line which we used to climb up.
My younger brother managed to fall all the way from the top to the bottom. He went end over end like a Slinky, only faster. All I could think of was 'I just KNOW Im getting the blame for this.'
Luckily for me he survived.
Yup, he was about 10. At the bottom he stood straight up and started wailing in that irritating way that younger brothers do when they see an opportunity to drop a sibling in it.No injury? He was lucky.
Heh. I was hauled off to the doctor with an injury exactly one time. I was 14 or 15 by then, and it turned out to be a fracture for which I was given a splint and a warning not to dislocate it, else it would really hurt.He received no medical attention.

All he had was a huge scarlet welt across his forehead, like a squashed strawberry. He received no medical attention.

Yup, you mind-reader! First time I saw the cheese-rolling done I remembered Bro's epic descent. It was every bit as violent.
I am red-'ot on head injures and always insist on getting people checked over for them.
Sent a few families off to A&E after their little darlings knocked themselves silly when they slipped over when running along beside the swimming pools at work.
At the very least, having half their day wasted and paying stiff hospital parking fees would make the parents more careful about letting Junior charge around the place.

This - I wish my parents in the 70's had the same attitude. I know a few blokes who played Rugby both in the UK and NZ who suffered half a dozen concussions. I've had about 4 myself.
Some of the men can't remember a lot of their teenage years because of them. Some of them have issues with temper or emotional regulation.
Concussion syndrome is a bastard.
Head injuries, even apparently minor ones, are a lot more dangerous than used to be thought, as you know. The various effects can be lasting and disastrous, and as you've learned, cause trouble in later life.This - I wish my parents in the 70's had the same attitude.

That's if they don't cause severe damage or even kill right away. Two words: Natasha Richardson. She had the classic 'lucid interval' after a head injury when all seems well, before the bleeding into the brain compresses it and causes massive pressure and destruction.
If the bleeding isn't detected soon enough and the skull isn't operated on to relieve the pressure, the patient will usually die, as Richards did.
What a terrible tragedy, considering that she could have been saved if she'd accepted the ski resort staff's advice.
The staff are trained in injury response and knew what to do for her. They called an ambulance right away but the paramedics didn't even get to see her because she refused treatment.
Take the advice, folks! The paramedics/medics would rather check you or your loved one over and send you all home than have to deal with an epidural haematoma. This is what I tell people when there's been a bump.
Totally agree and it's not just the prospect of death it's also brain injury. I don't want to go into details but a friend is currently suffering from concussion syndrome and she's not really been back fully functioning in over a year.
Guys I know can't remember stuff after concussions, they cite changes in their personality, memory issues, dark moods, anger etc. None of this stuff was regulated in the 70's and 80's.
I hope you pinched him really hard. Younger siblings were made for pinching and horse bites. (And nipple twisting...but only for male siblings)Yup, he was about 10.

Okay you guys have got to trust me and explore this mans channel. lol
I just watched this one below and I was so impressed that I subscribed to his channel. Same guy that did the video I just posted above.
Cat or rat jumping onto the keys?Good find. The piano note at 16:26 would have made Yvette Fielding pee her panties!
I hear what might be a cat snarling at around 16:22 -16:23.
Me too - ever since I saw a brief documentary on it. I've always had a yearning to explore abandoned and overgrown places.I've always wanted to visit Poveglia Island. We've never been to Venice yet mind.
