Children forced to use death slide

April 8, 2010 by Andrew Leave a Comment

I don’t know whether to be impressed or horrified.

In stark contrast to UK’s health and safety laws check out this “death slide” made by workers in Bolivia.

This is their way home.

Please be aware that this video is a clip from Current TV’s Deadliest Journeys which is being distrubute as part of a promotion campaign.

Would you even consider a slide like this as a way home?

These are Bolivian coca workers. Even if the coca is far trade the workers and their families may still take this sort of risk. Does it make you think twice about chocolate?
