That video is done to death. 
Very good video though.
If I die, my biggest fear is that my wife sells all my toys for the price I told her I bought them for...

I am a Radio Ham, and I have my own antenna mast in my Back garden and I get dizzy climbing that and its only 40ft!
I know a couple of Antenna installer guys that are mast certificated and have seen them climb a 350ft mast. Makes me dizzy just looking up from the
ground at them!
It just makes you appreciate your own job especially if it keeps both your feet firmly on the ground!
Its a good video, and has been about for quite a while. Just Surprised it turned up on LCB. Still there is a varied bunch on here anyway!
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

Makes me laugh when he says about looking round for storms, as "there is no quick way down". Oh yes there is

People who do stuff like that must have part of their brain missing.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

I used to work with an old chap that was paid extra during WWII to go up the massive masts they had then, he laughed about it as it was worth an extra
shilling or something, but then he also did headstands on telegraph poles....
He had a good reason not to be scared of heights, before the war he worked on the very last of the tea clippers as a lad, going to the top of a 4
masted schooner in a force 9 gale made anything else easy

Mental
Unbelievable!
I was thinking about parachutes for that oh sh*t moment as well.
At one point right at the top he's not even holding on whilst he mucks about with the carabina.

My Dad used to work on 240 and 360 foot masts in the war. Some of them were made of timber, sitka spruce I think. One type was called a Marconi Pencil
if memory serves me well, was dead straight and was simply mounted on a large steel ball on the ground and supported with steel guys. Definately
squeeky bum time!!!

No Brains or an 18 year old.
Many moons ago when I was an Electrician, I was sent to a Radar Tower.
I thought Wow that will be cool.
Not so cool when I found out it was this
All 350feet of it.
And yes I had to go to the Top.
Then told you need you tools up there as well , And DON'T drop them
