Worlds Scariest Job?
I actually went cold watching this and had to keep looking away. Not recommended for people who don't like heights!

Re: Worlds Scariest Job?
I saw that on documentary storm yesterday.
Its not scary at all, id pay them to be climb that. No need for a harness, just slows the climbing down! It would be awesome! Last edited by beabert; 18-09-10 at 05:43 PM. |

Re: Worlds Scariest Job?
Can't believe they do that without a safety line. I'd have a parachute on if I was doing that

Scarey stuff
I've done working at height, and there is no way I wouldn't be attached to something solid with a lanyard all the time. |

Re: Worlds Scariest Job?
I didnt think parachute were good below about 2000 feet, but I would be wearing a base jumping suit, save the hastle of climbing down.
Ive worked at heights that I had to become comfortable at, you never get used to it but develope a healthy respect for them. These heights are in another league though.

Re: Worlds Scariest Job?
Screw that for a living.
I assume the towers are designed like that for functionality purposes and not just cost savings? |
