"Wanted: Someone who will ride an elevator 1600 feet into the air, and then climb a ladder, unassisted, 168 feet to repair carrying a 30 pound bag dangling from you." Seriously, who would sign up for this/train for this? | ||

The tower is held up by a bunch of steel cords pulling on each other that have a LOT of tension--there was some show on the History Channel where a single one snapped and the whole tower snapped really really really fast. These guys have BALLS of STEEL. Imagine how much it must cost for their insurance  | ||

Also, a part of me wants to see a video of someone falling from up there. Or, more like, I want to see a video of them dropping a camera attached to a dummy from up there. That would be really freaky! | ||

But I think I could do it if it meant I would be set for life. It's not that dangerous if you think about it, you just need to take it slow and be very careful. But then again if it's really windy it might be a different story. | ||

It doesn't matter if you fall from 50, 100, 500 or 2000 feet, you are dead anyway. Man, even I have worked at a "deadly height".Just watch your step and stay alert. Sure, it's dangerous but it's not a huge deal. Many slaters and scaffolders deal with the danger of falling to their deaths every day. hardass alert, internet tough guy is in the thread guys, put on your big boy pants and use your deep voices now. anyways- this video seems to be popping up on a bunch of forums and i am deathly afraid of heights, but for some reason i like that feeling at the same time... this video feels like a mental rollercoaster i couldnt look away and i couldnt close it for the life of me. | ||

Imagine if the worker's boss told him, that light bulb you installed yesterday was 100 watt, not an energy saving fluorescent. Go back and do it right. | ||
