You would think with modern tech they could figur a safer way to get up there. Maybe by a helicopter or something. You would atleast think they would have a parashoot or something just incase.

One job i'd never do: Devving for Discovery mod. It is more dangerous then climbing towers with no safetyline (rock)

This guys has some serious balls.

Watching that video I think I felt mine crawl up inside me.

Don't like open heights like that. You put me in the glass observation dome on top of the Willis Tower, I'm fine. You stick me in the open door of a helicopter doing a radiological survey, I'm fine. You get me out in the open like that, no way in hell.

We had two tower climbers die here last year when things fell down on them.

Do not want

I know a few tower climbers, crazy bastards.

While I'm not terrified of heights, I'm not a big fan of them either, so yea, not my kind of job.

Few issues with using a helicopter:

1. Wind speeds at high altitude interfere with a helicopter's ability to maintain position. It would be very difficult for the chopper to keep steady enough to transfer workers to the tower.

2. A helicopter has rotors, y'know those big things that spin and keep it in the air. Those would be hitting the tower or antenna if the chopper were close enough to transfer people to the tower.

True. Might cause some turbulance to. But still you think they could figure out a safer way to top, or a way that peeps no longer "NEED" to get to top.
