Scared of heights? Step ladders make you nervous?

So....let's say you've got to go to the bathroom....

Word from my friend is you let er rip off the tower.

I have the sweatiest palms EVER after watching the whole thing... I'd totally do it, but only if I didn't have to climb down... and was into base-jumping.

I wonder how much it swings at the top... steel and all, but everything has a little wiggle over such a long stretch.

I don't think I would make it not because of the hight but because I am out of shape.

and I think thy should have two safety clips.

An hour later I'm still nervous about that.

That thing has to be swaying a TON up that high. God, even the dude behind him climbing up has to make it bounce. The tiniest vibration and I'd be crying like a little girl. I hate to be up 50' in a bucket truck that's swaying around, I can't even imagine what it would be like over 1/4 mile in the air.

that was nuts
it gave me that funny feeling in my stomach like when you are going down hill on a roller coaster
and after this thread i will be a little more aware of falling debris around towers

Getting that close to that antenna will irradiate one's testicles to the point of non-recognition. All the way to the top and he didn't stick some kind of decal up there?

I'm thinking for one to even consider doing that job one's testicles are probably bulletproof and resistant to the affects of a measly antenna.

Yikes.

On June 6th of this year, I fell from one rung down from the top of a 10' ladder and hit the concrete driveway with full force. Broke my left femur completely in half. Also broke my left arm.

If there's a true statement here it's this:

He corrected me....the fall from 200' doesn't hurt at all.

 

[SignosaurusRex]

Watching that....I think the pucker factor took me from a 30" waist down to a 28".

 

[Red Ball]

And think how much fun it was to move and bolt all those sections together.

What prey tell is a "pucker factor"?

What prey tell is a "pucker factor"?

A sphincter says what?

 

[K Chez]

Insane.


Pat, you seem to be recovering quickly from that "ass-kicking" at the hands of the FBI!

 

[Sticky Signs]

Cool. Still puckered over here.
I'm not afraid of heights and I'm not afraid of falling. I am however very afraid of the landing.

I liked this comment from below the video:
"That isn't a tool bag, it's his nuts."
Made me feel funny to watch it.... I almost didn't finish it.... then the guy came to the outside part....then it turns to a frikkin pole!

 

[signmeup]

I wonder what the pay's like?

 

[surf city]

That's just insane. I hate heights, one of my younger brothers is a crane repairman, he's always working on tower cranes and such, he says it's no big deal. He's always sending me pictures of views from the top of the cranes.

That sucks.

But google "Stairway to Heaven – Climbing a Tower"

There ain't no way...when he climbed out of the tower to the pole, my stomach was in knots. So much that I had to stop it, let it settle, then go back...
