Watching this makes my gent's parts retreat inside my body!


I've found that as I've got older and realised how vulnerable life can be, I've become a lot less reckless. Seeing things like this makes me very nervous.
 
Plenty of better things to do, must be very boring where they live.

Having said that I climbed to the top of one of those gas cylinder frames as a teenager, and walked all around it (whilst the gas cylinder was all the way down), which I suppose would have killed me had I fallen.
 
OMG crazy crazy. There was another video long time ago posted here which was even crazier than this.

It makes me feel uncomfortable to even watch it.

I bet it is - most likely a life of alcoholism and despair to look forward to! It's quite worrying what boredom will drive people to do. An unpredicted strong gust of wind and 'bye bye'.

I remember seeing a similar video of some kids doing pull ups (really badly) from a high-rise crane a while back. I'll see if I can locate it...

the french guys doing pullups on a crane ^^

hell no would i do that, i get dizzy when i'm up high places now... sucky :(

Damn, beaten to it!

It looks as if they are struggling to do the pull ups as well! Crazy.

Yeah I'm the same, when I was younger there were often times when rock climbing where if I had fell I would have almost certainly died.

And I used to have a very stupid habbit of climbing up things when drunk :(.

Now I'm much more cautious and looking back I'm surprised I didn't injure myself more or worse. I kind of feel I had more than my share of good luck when younger so am now a lot more paranoid!
 
I don't mind bungees and skydives but I'll admit my palms were sweating and my pulse shot up watching those, felt like I was going to have palpitations!
 
Whilst I love heights, I don't feel the need to put my life in danger for no reason - but the thrill is 2nd to none, it is quite a buzz I must say!
