He once survived a near-fatal fall. In 1997, Dibnah was almost killed when a 2,500-ton concrete chimney on Canvey Island collapsed prematurely. He tripped while running from the falling structure, but luckily, the chimney corrected itself and fell in the opposite direction

- gorgoiler 1y agoOddly, the Dibnah near-death experience I most remember giving me the willies was when he dropped his cap in a puddle just after scratching his bonce. Having wrung his cap out he put it straight back on. The water had a dead pigeon in it though and so he ended up catching a virus which started spreading through his head via the cap and the cut. It got quite serious out of nowhere.
