Who's brave enough for this job?

[Slow Five-O]

Got a buddy from high school that does that. He posts pics all the time on fb and loves his job.


F all that though for me.

I thought the same thing about having a parachute, but in the video description on youtube it says that they can't wear a parachute for two reasons. 1. extra weight/ less mobility 2. There are cables and protrusions sticking out of the tower. So you would have to jump very far out, and dodge stuff the whole way down. Personally the extra weight would be worth it not to climb down, but I guess it is too dangerous to parachute through the wires and stuff.


I've watched this about 5-6 times already, and I still feel like i'm going to fall to my death through my computer screen.

Thats not true. certain people BASE off antennas all the time. The only real deterrent is wind. That's why when you're at the top, you throw a hackysack ball with a long tail attached to it off your planned exit point to see where the wind's blowing to. Not that i'd know about it. sounds too dangerous to me.

The reserve chute on a skydiving rig takes up alot more real estate then just one canopy on a base rig.

Screw that, Its taken alot for me to just get out and crawl around the interstate sign structures when installing/replacing the big overhead signs..
