    Wow.....

    I watched that one and then another. The second one really made me quezzier than the first.

    I could never, NEVER be able to attempt that. Not even with a safety harness I don't think.

    I then watched a group of kids on a high snow covered roof and they launched a running girl off of it. She fell a hundred feet and was then whiped around for another 150 ft. and of course she kept swinging and the video stopped...What a friken thrill ride!!! I would never do it.

    I just had a nightmare the other night of me standing on top of a stairway half that tall in a mountainous area like Tenn. and it had a 75* pitch. Almost straight down. I couldn't even start it and then I woke up. Heart just a poundin.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I have had to do that kind of sh!te all my working life. I used to do alot of the high risk work where you couldn't tie off. My job was to make it safe for other people to work.

    Nothing to be scared of, in fact you don't need to be there if you are. You just respect the hell out of it, cause you ain't gettin' another chance.

    That is very "disturbing". Is life so "uneventful" that we must risk falling to our death these days! Maybe Zuckerberg could incorporate that into Facebook (for "profit" of course). Be my "voyeuristic" friend why don't you? "Electrify your friendships by POKING death?"

    As for me, I couldn't even get 20 feet off the ground without thinking "What am I doing up here?" lol

    Agreed I remember one job in particular where it was so windy that I had to use steel bands to secure the crane box to the beam so I could get out and work the box was banging into the beam and moving back and forth too much to get out safely with all my gear and supplies, and of course I couldndt tie off to anything because if I had of and fell, my big **** would be hanging there for weeks most likely because there wasn't another crane for hundreds of miles that was big enough to reach up there. You just go slow don't make any dumb moves and you will be ok.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
