World's Scariest Job? (vid) * 3
    #13210561 - 09/17/10 05:03 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

I think perhaps the scariest part isn't necessarily the climb, but the realization that you have to do it over and over again, increasing the probability your foot slips or you have a massive sneeze attack.

Fuck that.

Who's the dick who added the pole "just for extra height"? Haha

I wonder how often they have to do that

With a safety harness I would definitely try it.

This could be an interesting way to verify people's intentions about suicide and whether or not they still cling to life. If you climb all the way to the top and STILL want to jump, you're pretty damn sincere -- otherwise feel free to climb down and tell Mommy you're sorry.

I actually used to be a tower hand but on smaller cellular towers. I wouldnt free climb like they are but I have. I was watching the video and wodnering. TO get stuff on our towers we used a rope and a winch or just your hands if it was small. I wonder how they get shit to the top of that bad boy? Put it in the elevator then carry it the rest. They did ride the elevator 1600 feet so a few hundred foot climb aint shit in means of getting tired.

I would LOVE to do that job.

If you had some type of quick release system for the tool bag it would be easy to BASE if you fell off, 1600ft is enough time to do an unstable exit, enter a track and still deploy safely.

:cuckoo: WoW I felt uncomfortable just watching it and I'm fine w/ heights but that is just plane nuts!  Those guys better get paid obscene amounts of money to do their jobs.  I give those men credit b/c that takes a huge pair to do that time and time again.  :handth:

But yeah, that would be pretty awesome if they get to BASE jump off that thing instead of climbing back down.  This would be me on the way down  :hotidea: hahahhaha

:eek: Yup, uncomfortable to watch. I wish I had the mind and body to pull that off.

Imagine a little bit of rain coming down while you're on top and all those climbing steps being wet... :sad:



$15 an hour? FUCK THAT! No hazard pay or whatever?

I wonder what the prerequisites are for a job like that? I've always loved climbing things, but that's just crazy.
