You couldn't pay me enough to do this job. Warning: Vertigo inducing heights in video.

You should be more like Cantrip.

Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. "
WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore."
GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD"

No. Just no.
Absolutely no.
Fuck that no.
I couldn't even watch it more than 2 minutes in.

The inner ladder I could watch.
"Now it's time to go outside".
Shit fuck no.

*calms down*

Okay seriously.
Guy goes to his bosses and says he has plans for the tower. Boss asks how it's built and maintained. Guy says someone has to scale the outside of it at the top. What the fuck boss would say "OKAY!"

I just watched it a second time. It's even scarier once you know what is coming.

At around 5:15 minutes, they talk about a storm in the distance - then you year a thunder clap. "No quick way down from here..."

But the most insane part is at 7:10 when the lead dude gets to the top, he looks for a carabiner and for about 15 seconds, he is NOT holding on to the pole. He's just standing on the light fixture mount and balancing on that. A gust of wind could knock him off as he fiddles with his belt.

It doesn't help that you guys post some fucked up shit here. I half expected to see the guy fall off.

They should at least give those guys parachutes...

Aw man. That's like someone telling people not to post that pic of Quart with a photoshopped penis in his hand - I found it btw. Lemme know if you want it posted, but, back to the present.

Here's a vid of a guy actually falling off a tower as filmed from a distance. Better yet, at the end of the vid, Youtube is kind enough to provide even more vids of people falling at the end.

Guy experiences almost five seconds of freefall before the lights go out. You've been warned . . .

I didn't find the second one as bad as the first. The first one is just too intense and made me crazy anxious. The second one, well... you see that kind of thing in movies all the time. Didn't really effect me. Which probably ain't right.
