Anyone here not afraid of heights??
 

Normally I don't have a problem with heights, but this video made my legs a little weak. There's absolutely no way you could ever pay me enough to do this as a job. I guess it takes a special person to want to do this.

The feeling of falling is insane. I have a condo in Vegas on the 28th floor and it freaks me out to even get near the edge of the balcony.

I would have no issue with that task given they are harnessed and roped to the structure. Looks like fun, in fact.

this was posted a few days ago

i dont even step on regular ladders that higher than 1 meter - lol

Heights don't bother me at all, however my arms are tired just watching him climb that tower.

i think all of us get a bit dizzy looking straight down like that. Even the harness thing doesn't help me any. Too much relying on lowest bid engineering going on with those ;)

Hmm.. I must have missed it.

Crazy video... I thought it was going to be those crane climbing Russian kids.

Fuck... Noo....

shortest job ever id fall to my death :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Watch the video - the last however many metres they free climb :2 cents:

I would only do it if I was locked in the entire time. Gone skydiving multiple times, but this takes a brass set.

Do this job have a "bring your parachute to work day"?

"now we've reached the base of the antennae> From here its just another 60 feet to the top."

Oh, is that all?

damn that's insane... they must get paid well though

not only russians doing that, my brother used to do that all the time when he was a kid. one problem to consider.. there's no bathrooms up there.. hehe

incidentally he works as an arborist now!

I am afraid of heights, but I can get over it. My kid wanted me to go on a zip line in Hawaii, and I was able to do it.

Doing something like this... Insane.

balls of steel

That actually looks pretty awesome, although I think my arms would get tired real fast.

Nice view up there!! :1orglaugh

Not scared of heights at all but wouldent go up there without a harness lol

I would never take those risks

My friend's brother does work like this and they don't get paid as well as you would think. He and a crew had the job of painting an 1800 ft tv mast. Took them several weeks to do it and he had some insane videos.

No fucking way i would rather be shot at

That's not for me, that's for sure! :P

I get vertigo at anything over three feet above sea level and actually passed out once when helping a buddy put a roof on his house. I wear Magical Gravity Shoes to keep me glued to the Earth. I have difficulty crossing bridges when driving so I plan my routes carefully to avoid them as much as possible.

Funny thing though is that once I drove Red Mountain Pass and did fine! Not today though!

I cannot watch this video without getting sick:



:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I'm not afraid of hieghts but I "suffer" from severe vertigo. I LOVED my 18th floor penthouse apartment. It was in North York and it faced south. I worked while looking over the Toronto skyline.

Unfortuntely, if I went out on the balcony or terrace and looked down, the whole city spun. I felt a compulsion to lean over the edge. Nothing like paying for a terrace that you can't use.

I bought a bungalow.

afraid of heights here :helpme

Do you also have a fear that if you lean against the railing it will fall and so will you?

Heights don't really bother me but that is an irrational fear that I have.

I never worry that the balcony itself will go though. Just the railing.

I've seen this video before but it still makes my hands sweat.

actually it was posted here 1-2 years ago too :) but still a scary vid

No. Fucking. Way. Would you get me up there. Not for Love nor Money.
