There are things in this world i could not have imagined of. Exactly something like this ! can they not just fly him to the top with a helicopter and pick him up afterwards ? And yeah why haven't some cliff jumpers jumped from broadcasting antennas :D ? | ||

I work on electrical lines. Second week on the job i had to climb an 80 foot pole to do some work. Sometimes we do work on transmision towers that reach up to 150 ft. Nowhere near what this guy is climbing though looks fun! | ||

Just because it's higher than other towers doesn't mean it's scarier, you're still gonna die if you fall from one half as high haha. its probably reaaaaaaaal scary if the wind picks up | ||

the wind and sway at that height must be the most terrifying aspect.. | ||

Sorry, I like dangerous things, generally. But even being in iraq or afghanistan is safer then walking across streets statistically. Its not necessarily fair that your life premiums go up when you get deployed since it isn't even more dangerous statistically, but these guys sometimes cannot get life insurance. | ||
