Holy shit.

I was an engineer at a TV station for 4 years, and at one point we had to get the antenna replaced at the top of our tower. I believe it was 1200 feet. Most of the members of the tower crew were former felons and were missing quite a few brain cells.

Wow, I think I just had a little panic attack from watching a video, almost fainting and puking.

If my ass would have been designed to operate at such heights, it would have gotten wings. I wonder what these dudes are being paid, probably not all that much.

 

[Mago]

Nice view
Shit, this dudes are badass.
Isn't there strong wind in such height?
I guess if I'd be up there and wind comes up I'd shit my pants...and the ones below me wouldnt be happy too^^

 

[Jaymz]

That is fucking sick.....would anybody else have a MASSIVE feeling of just letting go when your on that tiny ladder or just me? :\

 

[jipchen]

I wonder how long it takes until you hit the ground

 

[SimonTaddio_Qc]

"...There is no fast way down..."

Oh yes, yes there is!

That made me lol hard


But...I don't know...If I was properly trained for this kind of shit...dunno, maybe I'd do it, tho not starting on a 1700' antenna, but still...cool thing

I wonder how long it takes until you hit the ground

roughly ten seconds.

 

[~BURNY~]

Shhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Jevil]

I wonder how long it takes until you hit the ground

According to my calculations: 7,38 seconds
But I didn't consider wind and air pressure.

 

[SimonTaddio_Qc]

Did you considered that a free falling human body can't really go faster than 120 mph? unless you are very good at free falling (I'm serious)

 

[kev]

would be quite cool to now how much the make /hour for doing a job like that. I cant imagine that there are allot of people willing to do that

I know someone who does it, he's loaded

 

[HeadCrusher]

from this height you wouldn't be much fast than 100 km/h before you hit the ground, let alone 120 mph...

On a sidenote I find this to be quite interesting: http://www.redbullstratos.com/

 

[Dimaura]

A good friend of mine / old band mate does this. Here is his new shite

 

[Pot]

the thing is going up is already scary... i think going down is even worse because your always looking down

 

[The-Zeronaut]

[Melb_shredder]

Guess what Dan Osman died from? Ironically a rope jump.

 

[xmortumx]
