me neither. where is that other post for this...Originally posted by Lon_H
A friend (rip age 32) got me to try out the heel digger stuff and climbing a pole, drinking beers bs'ing. I had a steel plate in my foot at the time, and noticed right away... there is more than just heights on those... a giant grounding rod. I could feel it in my damn leg.
makes alternating current dangling wide open wires even dumber to think about. My friend was electrocuted, and died doing his job.Previously boxer3main

Re: That's quite the commute
OK, that's the second time I've seen that video, and things still pucker when I watch that. There aren't enough letters in the word "NO" to explain what I'm thinking...Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

Re: That's quite the commute
It didn't look very windy from the video. That's my main issue with going that high, the wind making the pole, tree, whetever sway. I don't what I'm climing to be moving.
I had to pause it halfway through because of that.Originally posted by studemaxComment

Re: That's quite the commute
When I was a kid I used to climb the tall metal powerline towers for fun. I had no idea how dangerous that was - never mind the fall - 25K volts a few feet away...Originally posted by tedly
And before we got as settled as we are now, I rode on airplanes a lot. Way too much riding on airplanes. Way too much. As a part of my job, I found myself in an office building in Montreal. The 23rd floor. I stepped into the room. The room was on a corner of the building. The walls were all glass. Probably the best view of Montreal from anywhere.
After all the airplane riding....It was a fleeting moment, but in my mind for about a second, the feeling was real, and it was terrifying. My brain said, "We're too LOW. We're going to CRASH."Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

Re: That's quite the commute
I couldn't do that. Period. I've been bungee jumping and really want to go skydiving one of these days, but there isn't enough money in the world to get me to do that. I couldn't even make it through the video, by the time he got to the freeclimbing part I thought I was gonna hurl.I'm probably wrongComment

Re: That's quite the commute
I don't quite agree with the free climbing part myself, given all the OSHA rules where you have to tie off to work, what.. more than 4 feet off the ground?
But Tedly, embrace your fears. If we held a gun to your head and you'd either get shot dead or climb that tower and get a million dallars, what would you do?Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

Re: That's quite the commute
HHahahahhHAhhhH!!
People do that every day for a living. Nothing to it. Another day on the job.
When I was young and dumb and fearless, I walked on I-beams 6 inches wide, 200 feet off the ground with the wind blowing hard. The ironworkers rationalized that if you fall more than 40 feet, you're dead anyhow. They knew that and forgot about it, and worked all day up there climbing like monkeys on the steel.
Would I do it now?
