he'll be alright. He's got his helmet on.

That is fascinating but fucking horrific.

 

I don't mind being 30,000 feet up inside a plane, but if I was outside at 1000 feet I would lock up and cling onto something until I was peeled off it.

 

..by outside I don't mean Eiffel Tower outside, i.e. protected by a fence and that. I mean abseiling type outside.

Reminded me of these daft arseholes by the way..

He should be shot with shit pulling a stunt like that.

I'm amazed a "professional" video seems to think it's ok to climb with safety gear.

I have a rope access (abseiling ) business and you wouldn't believe the paperwork and procedures we have to go through just to put ropes over the side to clean a window.

In the UK, all masts and towers have a fixed vertical safety wire which you attach to to climb. I'm surprised the yanks get away with this, given their liking for litigation and blame.

 

Rant over.

 

I'll post a few pics of my work later if anyone's interested.

Do you clean windows on the Sage and stuff like that? Always thought that would be class as a job, but like I say I can't get past the height thing.

I used to do the Sage and the Baltic before I set up myself.

Working on the Turnbull building by the High Level this week doing some de-vegging and pointing.

Just brilliant those, like.

[JawD 99]

All that to change a fucking bulb!

 

No way I could do that like. Though I imagine after a while a little extra height makes no difference. Never mind vertigo, Id be knackered before that became a problem

Brilliant Video, watched it on another site this lunch.

 

Monkey, great pics mate.

 

The yanks have ZERO care when it comes to health and safety. Working on a bridge de-humidification job in Baltimore at the moment and they do not give a flying fuck. Its weird as the sue culture is from over there

This must be the scariest video I have seen in a long time and I will probably have nightmares tonight.

 

As an earlier poster mentioned I would just freeze and cling on or fall off.

 

 

Monkey, nice vis as well. Have you ever.....

 

Lobbed it out for a piss while hanging about.

Put a foot through a window.

Seen something you shouldnt have. (Office shag etc)

 

And it must be a right pisser going back up for clean water!

[Gemmill 44522]

That video's mental. Canny of Stephen Hawking to do the narration for them though.

 

[Hawking]Rather you than. Me. You. Crazy fuck.[/Hawking]

Lobbed it out for a piss while hanging about. No , but I've dropped a shite over the edge of a 1000ft cliff

Put a foot through a window. No

Seen something you shouldnt have. (Office shag etc) One or two pleasant sights, and some that cannot be unseen!

 

And it must be a right pisser going back up for clean water! Carry bottles when window cleaning

Just seen mr Fist hanging off the Turnbull as we drove over the Tyne bridge.

 

Brave / Mad fucker!
