Title: Re: Don't Look Down Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, September 16, 2010, 09:32:33 No I'll keep it open in case the video gets reposted. Turns out the bloke that made the vid wanted it taken down as he was concerned his employers wouldn't be happy or something.

Just watched it for the first time. Fucking mental. As much as climbing up the thing must be hard work, imagine climbing all the way back down!

Title: Re: Don't Look Down Post by: dave_bambers_right_sock on Friday, September 17, 2010, 09:35:43 Holy crap wouldnt fancy that without a parachute. There was a programme on discovery a couple of monyhs back where they climbed an array to swap the transmitter beacon, someone dropped a spanner think it took 15 secs to hit the ground they said the safest place to stand was underneath the structure. Sod that for a game of marbles.
