Seems like OSHA would require a parachute.

That guy has some excursion size *****. I don't even like to get on top of my trailer of my big rig to kick stuff off let alone be 1700+ feet in the air.

When I was a little kid I crawled to the edge of Yosemite Falls and looked over. That sickening fear and something compelling me to jump at the same time stayed with me forever.

When I was a kid I had no fear of heights...
Now days I might do some crazy stuff (i'd climb that tower given the chance) but my intelligence vs guts is leaning more towards being safe vs sorry

I could climb that until you reach the free climbing part.
The vision of a gust of high wind blowing that 35+ lb tool bag and you off just rattles my nerves.

If I had that job I would wear a parachute and come down the easy way.

WOW is all I can say...and I'm with those that say how can OSHA not mandate safety lines?...I guess they believe in Darwin too?!?
Cool video though!
Have you seen this job?...I am always intrigued by this one!...other then the voltage...this guy at least has a safety line!

I bet he's more afraid of his wife than he is of the electricity or the height.
