I got vertigo just by watching that clip, and I'm usually not afraid of heights...


Kids, that is why you should stay in school

Saw this earlier, and it's crazy. Original video was pulled though (http://www.theonlineengineer.org/TheOLEBLOG/?p=551), luckily someone else uploaded* it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uccjrp5NRYE

*This will probably get removed shortly as well though.

My palms were sweaty just looking at that... The no clipping part really got my stomach churning.

It would be awesome if they could jump off and pull parachute lol

Reminds me of a video of this guy climbing tall buildings without any safety equipment.

WTFFFFFFFFF.

Couldn't they helicopter drop someone to do the work required and then just pull them back up...this is dumb.

I got to 1:45 where the dude's climbing the rungs...and thought, "what if one of those we're welded on right or if corrosion let's one snap off in his hands?"

Terrified of heights... also got sweaty palms watching the whole thing. Camera guy looks down far too often...

Isn't it illegal to work at such heights without a safety harness? Atleast in Canada it is... no?

That's pretty cool. I wish that they'd give you a parachute for the way down!

Jeebus that was really hard for me to watch. I kept getting that gut rush at every transition he had to do.

That man better be making a least a few hundred thou a year...
