Re: O_____O
O________O indeed.
But I think it lacks something for the vertigo sense explode: if he dropped the camera from the top while recording and the memory part survived the fall. I know the chances are slim, but whole brick walls would be shitted. |

Re: O_____O
I'm more of a dare devil so shit like that would excite me. But for anyone else IT would probably scare the living shit out of them. I'm sure there are safety precautions and it takes A lot of balls to climb a transmission tower.
But other than that I was anticipating the guy to fall. Since they made it out to be scary. |

Re: O_____O
Oh, yeah. It was over-exaggerated. But I wouldn't be caught 10 feet off the ground without something I felt kept me thoroughly safe.

Re: O_____O
Put that on the list of things I could never do. I have trouble with indoor rock wall climbing.

Re: O_____O
I could do the climb, but I'd be fucking stupid to do it with out a Harness to clip onto something. I'm more amazed by this guys stupidity than the supposed "feat" he is pulling off, fuck, I"m amazed his employer allows him to work in such conditions.
Fact of life, your job isn't worth your life, nor your well being. The only safe thing I see in this video is the 3 points of contact method he's using while climbing the ladder.

Re: O_____O
If you watched long enough it said there's no protocol that has rules against it, and that a LOT of the workers do this "Free climbing."
=P

Re: O_____O
I did hear that =p That's what amazed me, they fact they must be able to shun all liability should someone fall. if we're working any higher than 2 meters (I think they've reduced it to 1.7m or something retarded) you need to wear a harness. If we did the work and fell without wearing a harness worksafe comes down like an A-bomb on the company and they could easily get shut down then and there.
tl;dr Aussies at work are srs bsns

Re: O_____O
Heh if the tower was still transmitting while they were on it, they'd be sterile.
