First thing i would do is piss right off the edge.


***UPDATED: LINK NOW WORKS***

NOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!:o:o:o:o


Really interesting vid :up:

.

Day-um.

I have no trouble on a mountain, but watching that made me woozie. Imagine the down-climb...

Heh, and i thought being a 115 feet in a aerial lift all day was scary.


But this?

Oh hell no. My hands are sweating just looking at this video, and getting that sickly butterfly feeling in my gut.

Hell no...

These...

The pair i have, is way too small for this kind of work. Anyone who does this work, has a pair of brass balls so large, it takes a 10 ton dump truck to move them around.

**** that, I'll take mortar and machinegun fire over that any day of the week. Balls of steel indeed.

Now imagine reaching the top to realize you left your spanner behind...

This is about having "balls"
 

easy money,not if you are afraid of heights :hmmm:

I used to skydive and I'm not particulary afraid of heights but that video put butterflies in my stomach. There is no way in hell I would get on that tower without rig on my back. On the other hand, with parachute.... hmm... I've always wanted to try BASE jumping.

You guys are a bunch of negative nancys. Those guys pull down 6 figures and only work maybe half the year.

Excellent!
 

long holiday, :yep:

Yeah, and would YOU climb up there? Be honest.

The thing that bugs me the most, is most of the time, your completely unattached. One slip, or lost grip, and you probably have 10 to 15 seconds to think about how badly you just F'ed up before you suffer a terminal case of decelleration trauma.

Noooooo thank you.....

Respect I can never do that :salute:

Can you imagine if it started raining when you're out in the open that would make slippery climbing up and down not to mention the cold. Just listening to the wind blowing at such height is already terrifying.

Dangerous business.

If I were a younger man you betcha. It's no more dangerous than being an Army Paratrooper... :DL

Bollocks of steel. :o

I'll stay on the ground, thank you

What trauma they wouldn't be able to find what's left of you if you fell from such heights :haha:

There will be no terminal case of anything at all. If you slip, you slip on your life.
