that antenna tuner section he is just grabbing onto anything he can, there is nothing to climb, better get paid well. I wonder what job training consists of.

That's fucking crazy.
And stupid. I'm pretty pissed off that there aren't more safety precautions with that. Watching him go up was that nerve wracking, I can't imagine going DOWN. 
I climb tree with ropes and a chainsaw and get pretty sketched out even with a secure line sometimes.
Given that experience I see NO REASON whatsoever they couldn't install some permanent climbing lines up there so you would at least have a friction hitch between you and death at all times. Shit, a V.T. with with a pulley wouldn't take any more time to go up than the literal three seconds it would take to clip into a climbing harness. This is freakin nutty. A good quality climbing line isn't that expensive (when your life is hanging from it) and they could be replaced every few months to handle the exposure to light and moisture and the air and whatnot.

i was thinking that too, but what if your jumping off and your shoelace gets caught on the antenna?

FUUUCK that's so crazy!
You have to be unbelievably careful and focused to do that.
I guess it would be no different than climbing up a light post or something...well only a few hundred feet or so. I wonder how bad that thing wobbles, being up there then having the wind really pick up would be a nightmare.
Also, how many dudes have fallen off??

A parachute would be a good idea. Climbing down from that would be absolutely nutso.

WTF?????
That dude must have been out of his fucking mind.
Also, how do you just DROP a couple hundred feet and then get caught by a rope? wouldnt that like...BREAK something? like wouldn't it at least dislocate something? that seems like a lot of force to put on your body.

Usually you should belay a rope through you climbing system so you DON'T fall. Aside from being really rough on your body it also puts a serious strain on your rope and weakens it considerably.

They use the antenna as a base to pull the other sections of the antenna up. And they brace it at various intervals with wire, like shLong said.

If I'm not mistaken, he actually died from one of his jumps after a climb. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think it is right. Dude was crazy as fuck.
