He died from base jumping however, not climbing.


Not true, he actually died doing a rope swing.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

i bet they get monumental hazard pay. 12$ sounds like base.

So yeah it appears to rise considerably, which would make sense.

Same here. I'd still be scared shitless but that experience would be amazing.

Wow as I watched this I kept thinking he was as high as he'd need to go to work, like when it started talking about the electrical box. Only to watch him climb even higher into more precarious positions. Yea... definitely something I could never even consider doing.

I don't think normal human can do that no matter how much will be paid.

Wow people are saying they wouldn't do this for a million dollars, or even more?! That's a lot of money. I'm pretty sure I would do it...or at least try. I know, I know...I say that now, but I'd definitely give it a shot. I'd probably wimp out and climb down after the first step

It is pretty scary, but I think I would at least try if someone offered me a million to go up and back down...

The thing that would bother me is the wind. It seems like it would be really strong up there, wouldn't it? Crazy :o


I don't think money matters here, the normal human with fear of heights is not capable of doing this, unless you are some kind of silly climber or without natural fear for height.

well these guys didn't climb over the clouds.


That doesn't really matter. After a certain height if you fall you die anyways.

Bullshit. theres people that survived even when jumping out of an airplane and their parachute didn't work.

Wow, when I thought that he was at the top, he just kept climbing, it didn't end! Just watching this made me dizzy, although you have a spectacular view from high up there.

In history, during poor economic times people have fought over jobs more dangerous than that for much less money (like climbing down a rock face, lighting dynamite, and climbing back up before it blows).

Seems weird to see a video like that TODAY though.

Ugh, the crane video just made me feel sick. His hands must have not gotten sweaty; otherwise he'd probably have slipped.
