The helmet is for OSHA..My nuts got pains just watching it also. If he was really cool he could jump with a chute when he was done.

Yeah -- but wouldn't you have to ask the question -- "why would a guy want to jump off a perfectly good tower"?


I'd have such nightmares over a job like this. OMG..... I'm in awe of anyone with a set of stones this big.

Greg, I posted this on here a while back but I have no where near the status you do on here so it didn't get much attention.

Forget the 30 lb tool bag, what about the 2 huge steel balls they have to drag along with them.

My heart rate is twice normal now... who needs a treadmill? I'll just watch this video 3 times a week.

Ya know Erik... I thought I'd seen this somewhere! It must have been your post!

I don't have any pull around here buddy --- I'm just on here 24/7....

Dang, what a rush! I have walked many of walls building houses....walking a 2x4 wall on a 2 story house with a walk out basement over looking the lake is about as close as I have come to anything like this. Its maybe 30-35 feet if you were to fall. Im not scared of heights, but 100k a year wouldnt get me up there on that tower....

My stomach sank and I went flush as soon as they cut to him being on the tower. I found it very hard to watch. I guess you might say I have a fear of heights. I think Id rather jump out of a plane than climb that thing.
