libstaK Posted May 3, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2012 That made me feel physically sick! Hats off to them -- I couldn't do it! Thanks for the warning, won't be watching. I get vertigo when faced with heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted May 3, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks for the warning, won't be watching. I get vertigo when faced with heights. Likewise! I get a nose-bleed stepping up onto the bathroom scales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VengefulPeanut Posted May 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2012 By the time he took to get to the top it would be time to come back down again. Gotta give him some respect though, I couldnt do that if the world depended on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted May 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2012 They could put a $10 million check at the top and I still would not do it. Open extreme heights freak me out. Inside the top floor of the Sears Tower I would be ok. I heard of a worker a few years ago here in MT or maybe ND that died falling off a very tall radio tower while changing a red warning light. Anyway I hope these guys get paid very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted May 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I am not afraid of heights - I actually like being up high... However I really, really, really don't like edges.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clfr21 Posted May 6, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I found this so hard to watch all the way through, especially negotiating some of the more trickier sections and reaching the top. Wow to the guys who do this! They should jump off the top assassins creed style (though maybe not into a hay stack). would never do this job no matter how much i was paid!

curious jrad Posted May 18, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2012 at some point it looked like the tower was not meant to be climbed but im surprised they still kept going, and going, and going.... these are literally men of steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
