High pucker-factor job

HAZORD said:
I'd rather work on bombs!


I had a very hard time watching this video. It was strange. Really, I had fright and emotions I have never had before by watching a video. My whole body was tightened up and I was on the edge of my chair clenching my teeth.
It was interesting to see, and someone has to repair the towers, but not me!

pucker factor,

That is some climb and nerves of steel are an important prerequisite,but he only went to change a bulb,what about the crew that built the tower,they would have had a more difficult time,I know one thing,I would not have the nerves to do that,as with all people doing dangerous jobs especially the EOD and guys like these,they deserve our utmost respect,
Regards and respect,Don,
 
Man, i allready was getting dizzy by watching this video.
I really don't like these heights.
Also not for me.:afraid:
 
I am like Steve. I got a queezy stomach just watching the video and the higher he got the worse my stomach got. I have never experienced that before watching a video, but when I realized he was doing it without a safety line, the bottom fell out for me. I wouldn't make it past the first 100 feet.
 
Cant stand heights, use to, but not now because of old age.

Note:

Good video, and seems to be where it was properly shown. The below comment was from him on December 16.

The same with me!!! when he removed that safety clip, and started climbing again, I would almost jump out of my chair, and also felt dizzy a little

These two posts are exactly the same that I have felt, MAN, there is no money for pay that job, I will never claim again when I have to go up 5 meters for change a bulb.
 
I have seen this before. When he takes both hands off at the top to clip his safety clip on was the worst part for me. One slip and it's all over. I would want to be wearing a parachute if I went up that thing. Not that I would go up anyway, I absolutely hate heights.
 
Good view from up there but getting up there I think my leg muscles would have ached too much. Also I guess it's only safe to climb on a day when there isn't much wind. Easier to come down on a parachute than climb down.
