Don't like heights ... look away now !

I also knew what this would be, scares the s*** out of me.

EDIT: As said above, i dont think i could get myself to do that for any amount of money, i would probably pass out first.

I'd have to take a parachute with me. Going up is the easy bit, always hate coming down.

Was just about to say the same, only, with a parachute, the trip down would probably be the best bit.

The scariest bit is what do you do when a storm rolls in. Clip yourself to the mast, hold on and hope the mast doesn't get hit by lightning.

Here's a curious thought. Do you think a spacewalk like those guys on the recent shuttle EVA's working around the space station, would have a less sense of vertigo than that climb, or more?

Less.

i'd do it for a million if i had a parachute.

i actually thought the video was going to be this

arc@css · 20 Mar 2011 at 11:59

Sod that, watching it's hard enough.

Wants to be a quick acting parachute.

Surely one breeze and he's off, he's got the bag dangling from him too. Madness.

GJ02 · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:02

pmbuzz · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:12

I so want to do that

I don't see what all the fuss is about. They're all wearing hard hats.

Though I would be happier if they had high-vis jackets on.

kip02 · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:22

Good job you hadn't posted that at night or I'd be having nightmares.

I really hope those guys are paid extremily well, lost for words why anyone would want to do that! :eek:

I imagine that they don't pay into pension plans......
One slip and he is off. May be they do it when they are young (say 20-30) then say enough is enough and persue other work.

You would be seriously ****ed off if you dropped your spanner when you are at the top!

StoutMeister · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:29

My gonads just rose up to my stomach.

gronf · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:32

No!

If saving the world hinged on me climbing that......well, goodbye world

G18241 · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:35

Sod that

Even with safety equipment and a parachute, you can sod off with that

Noxia · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:37

I do believe that radio mast guy was on tv as well.

Murray · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:43

i ain't watching it....Seen it before and had to turn is off.

regulus · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:46

Not for me thanks. I love being firmly on the ground. I have no major issues with heights, but heights of that extremity and blatant danger makes my gonads shrivel up and whimper.

bayo000 · 20 Mar 2011 at 12:51

Maybe just maybe i'd climb up but no way i'd climb down. I'm more scared going down then up.

Terminel · 20 Mar 2011 at 13:03

Sir, no thank you.....!

Going down would be horendous.
