I got tingly toes watching that.

I had a job that involved working at heights, as the years went on and after 2 falls from +20ft and once dangled off a seaming chisel as my triple ladders slid away...i kinda don't like heights anymore.

what a awesome job,
ive climbed loads on antennas, but nothing that large,
i even have climbed to the top of the sky tower (akl nz) to check the terminations on the gold lightning rod.

but i think you'd almost want to have a chute so you could just base jump off at the end of the shift Very Happy

I'm surprised it wasnt more windy. Even more surprised that most of the time the dont use safety lines.

I dread to think what it would be like a storm started before they got down.

Bugger that for a game of marbles!

I like the bit where the narrator said "if a storm blows in there is no quick way down"

I beg to differ Laughing

I wouldn't wear a tether if i went up there. Think about it, if you fell you'd just be hanging there and have to climb back up absolutely shit scared. Parachute is the way to go Wink

That made me feel ill.....and I've jumped out of a plane at 10,000ft (it is a bit different mind!).

Was I the only one hoping they'd get to the top and the guy would be like

"So, you got that 14mm wrench?"
"......I thought you had it"
"I haven't got it I thought you had it...."
"........aaaahhhh bollocks!!"

One would think they'd be issued with parachutes, just to give them half a chance if they fell.

Scary stuff. The top of the tower is frightening as hell.

Would make me feel better if i had a chute (in an event of an emergency) but if you fell off that tower you wouldn't have much space to deploy a chute. Especially if it's unexpected, you wouldn't get any clearance. Nice way to finish work on a Friday tho..

This vid reminded me of the other video where the kid does pull ups off a crane.
