My palms get so sweaty watching that shit. I've been in stunt planes diving straight at the ground and been fine. It's that whole "foot slips an inch and you uncontrollably fall to your death" thing that scares the shit out of me.

And here I thought the guys that climb the 100-200 ft to the top of the cell phone tower outside our building at work were nuts.

How would you like to be one of the sorry saps that had to put that bastard up..

no thanks

Oh hell to the Mother fuck NO.

I was getting vertigo just watching that. I wasn't scared but dizziness was definitely seting in. The cricket noises from my phone probably didn't help. Sounds like I am camping in back woods Georgia.

I would try it for that kind of money. ive been at heights that would kill you if you fell at work before. 100ft or 2000ft your dead either way if you slip. I like the parachute idea though would prob invest in one. Only problem would be if you slip to get out far enough that you don't get caught up on the tower.

after a lil research these guys usually make 30-40k first year and after 5 or so years they get up to bout 80k..bout 40 an hour...lot of overtime tho.
