I get nervous walking down 3 steps... *spew*

Even that was hard for me to watch in my comfy chair :/

Interesting watch.
I remember having a conversation years ago with one of the persons responsible for servicing the tower on top of the bank west building.
Mentioned at times that tower would sway a good half a meter in either direction when the wind kicked up, being on a tower even higher without full restraints for most of the trip up is just crazy!

There is no way in hell I would climb that tower.

Seriously though if you fall from 2 stories up it is most likely going to be the same result or you'll be so f&*ked up that you would wish it was the same result as if these guys fell.

They would have a lot longer to think about it on the way down though!!!

Yeah at a massive cost dangling somebody out of one. Much cheaper to send a rigger capable of the job to climb it don't you think?
