Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Didn't eMoney do that or still does? That made me sick just watching it. I've been to the top of a sky crane, and that was only about 30 stories or so. Even then it was twisting and turning and I was shaking, lol.

Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 30 pounds of tools and at least another 30 pounds of testicles to haul up that tower - incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajimoto Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Watching this video I couldn't help but notice that he only clipped on on while taking a break..... EFFFFFF that! I would be clipping on every 3rd rung. Damn that was intense to watch, I need to do a shot and have a smoke.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee~SPARTA~ Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If you watch carefully, at the very top he lets go with both hands to clip in his safety line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MH6~SPARTA~ Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 If you watch carefully, at the very top he lets go with both hands to clip in his safety line. Oh yes, I saw. Now think about it. He's a little under 2000 feet up. Anyone who has ever been in a small plane at 2000 feet knows how insanely windy it can be--it can toss the plane around like nothing. Now imagine if a particularly strong gust of wind hit that guy as he was just...standing there--atop a 1786 foot tower, on a platform almost no wider than his shoulders.

It's not the holding on that gets ya, it's the sudden gusts of wind. It didn't look like that tower moved very much, though, but anyone who's been in a structure similar to that knows they sway and twist all the time. Even in a skyscraper. Now think about the strength needed to hold on as well. I wonder how they train new recruits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I never appreciated how brave my girl is - she climbs a structure like that when she wants to get on top and she doesn't use any safety harnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inimigo~SPARTA~ Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 damn, I fell off that tower this night. Shouldn't watch these things in bed. afraid of heights, jumped out of a plane 3 times, but still afraid of heights. I hope these guys don't have kids, as safety is not in their dictionary.

I would be clipping on every 3rd rung. Damn that was intense to watch, I need to do a shot and have a smoke.............. Actually, when I was still working, we had to have a double lanyard on our safety gear. You had to be 100% tied off at all times when climbing. So you go 2 feet move lower hook, move 2 more feet and move lower hook, repeat until your up to needed height. Just climbing a 30ft wall panel was tiring. I wouldn't want to have to climb 100+ feet at 100% tie off. from 2001 to just a few months ago I working in construction down here in Florida, worked on small offices to 20+ story Condo's. Concrete Form Work I also found panics video more disturbing, those guys are just morons and they most likely did not have permission to be up there.
