Oh mama :shocked:
 
S :crazyeyes:cared the poo out of me just watching. I salute them! :yesnod:
 
I'll do that job the day Webster's spells "way" with an "f"!

Some of you are thinking, "Um, there is NO "f" in "way".

My point EXACTLY!!! :nonono:




There isn't room for a bird at the top of that tower and there were two people up there???!! And could the camera guy wiggle around just a <span style="font-weight: bold">LITTLE</span> MORE??!! :sick:

Sure as heck, if it was me, the very FIRST thing I'd pull out of the equipment bag I'd DROP! And of course it would the one thng I only had ONE of! And of course I'd also drop the one item needed to put it all back together and would NOT have a spare!

Good thing I work in an office!! :laugh:
 
I've been at the top of the ladder on a 100'
fire truck,& I thought that was high.
I was thinking "what do you do in the event-
of an earthquake?"
Where is that tower located?

I couldn't finish WATCHING it!
 
Me too - was thinking though that IF I had the nerve to climb that (which I don't, I hate going on the roof of my house) I would definitely have a parachute, not for safety but because I wouldn't want to have to climb all the way down too.
 
I'm a pilot but you get no sense of height from an airplane or helicopter. Climbing on my roof scares the crap out of me. I tried to watch this video and got sick to my stomach REAL QUICK ! No thans...
 
All they had to do is climb it, how'd you like to be the guy who ~built~ it ?!?!?!?!

The the guy who posted it online was deliberately vague (note the de-res'ed face of the partner).

He's since taken it down from his own site because he doesn't want to get the guy in trouble.

I found some Google Earth hound who says it's in Houston Texas, based on the view of the ground below.

And apparently OSHA does <span style="font-style: italic">not </span>allow free climbing towers.

HOly moley! my knees went to jello watching that! Not me! no way!
 
Ya can strap my butt it any aircraft known, gimme any amount of "disorientation" possible and I'll giggle like a schoolgirl.


Put me out inna open on a sawhorse and I'll panic an' scream like one.

No idea where it comes from but stepping to an edge is insane compared to a cockpit.

I'll puke like a pig from just the drop of a kiddie ride at the chicken squat fair.
 
Rides never used to get to me, But about 5 years ago I went on a test drive with another mechanic, and I spent about a half hour or 40 minutes standing on my head in the back seat while he did figure 8s, trying to pinpoint a creak (It wound up being a poor spot weld at the base of the "b" pillar) and I nearly lost my lunch.
It took about an hour before I was not green anymore, and ever since then , Ive been much more sensitive to movement. The last time I did a tilt-o-whirl, it weren't good.

I didn't even get a good start watchin and I'm in the roofing business. Tall buildings with a parapet wall are ok and I have no trouble there, but with a gravel stop eave, you couldn't drive a 10p nail with a 10# hammer up my whatsis. I'm still sucking seat cover even now. :eeek: :eeek: :eeek:
 
I can walk to the edge of a two story house and have no problems. Well, I used to be able to. Half way through this my hands were so sweat covered that I had to shut it off.
 
I am now dialing 1-800-GEICO... You'll have to excuse me but
:sick:
 
Used to climb the mast at sea to change the masthead bulbs and would think if I fell now I would hit the deck and when she rolled if I fell I would be lost at sea, but that is just plain crazy.
