I don't think he can parachute down. The height is small it would be like jumping with an umbrella from the roof of a house also the parachute could get stuck on the tower...

I bet a chimp would solo that for a couple of bananas. xD

holy fucking shit. whenever i thought they´d finally be on top, they continued for another section. ive grown up in the alps and ive looked down into deep deep abysses for many times, but that vid scared the hell out of me. no money in the world would be enough for me to do this job...

omfg. Every time I thought it couldn't get any worse, I was proven wrong. It just keeps coming.

I would bet that he makes a fair amount and he probably doesn't have to go up there that often. Probably just a few times a month at the most. I freaked out just watching the video though, my palms are sweaty and my legs feel weak lol.

After what I've heard, you'd at least lose the bet on the money part. I read somewhere that those guys don't make more than 35k in the first year of work. Later they get more, but it seems like a normal job is the better option

Does anyone know if at that altitude wind currents are a significant threat to these people?

if you went one more step than you should, the bag might get hooked on one of the steps and jerk you back....

and imagine if it was a thunderstorm and you got paid $200,000 to fix some shit up there..

1763 feet? At that altitude the wind can be about x1.5 or x2 as fast as on the ground. So yeah on a windy day that can probably be a significant threat. You can get like 20 knots of wind on windy days which is something like 36 km/h? On the ground. I'm guessing (roughly ofc) that up there wind speed can get up to 50 or 60 km/h. Idk what that is in mph.

QQ, that's a nice pair o' balls he has there.

I think that with proper video editing you could scare the shit out of people by editing in a slip and a free fall. :p

Edit, the video apparently scared some people really hard which is interesting. This video didn't do that to me (sure I got a little nervous) but I remember actually getting really disturbed in kill bill when the she's buried in a coffin underground. Phobia is interesting. ^_^
