I cannot imagine the sheer horror one of them would have felt if they slipped or couldn't get up and their buddies wouldn't help them for whatever reason.

Of all the things in this world not to mess with, I have learned that death and eternity are somewhere in the top 2.

That would be fun! The wind would keep you cooled off as you do them.

Regarding both a) the guys doing the pull-ups and b) Maser's response...

You can't fix stupid.

I was born completely without the "thrill seeker" gene, so I will never understand shit like this one way or the other. To each his own...

Right around 1:45 I was waiting for the guys buddy to start stomping on his fingers while screaming this is for F-in my girlfriend. That would have made the video a lot better and there would be one less idiot in the world.

Not really that big a deal. 2000' makes it cool, but as a Lead Connector (Ironworker) I (and plenty of others) used to do shit like that on a daily basis... and get PAID for it.

Riding a motorcycle, in traffic, with all of the idiots I see on the road: Now that's crazy!

Re: How Hard Is It for You To Do A Couple Of Pull Ups?

Yeah, pass on that. My hands were sweating just watching that. I wasnt so bad when I was younger, but now its even worse.

You mean to convince people here that you dangle daily 2k'above ground with no safety connections as a matter of course?

Frankly, the tower crane operators have to have a couple screws loose anyway.

I'll stick to lifting heavy shit and feeling just fine about not having to walk beams, fly trusses or any more of that crazy ass high altitude shit!

I intended to qualify my response to reflect that I rarely work above 200' (two-hundred) anymore. But over the years I've worked up to 600', or so, hanging iron and communications towers. And yes, I did stuff like this "daily... as a matter of course". Tied-off? Depended on the job... power plants and refineries you just about have to be, but in the coal mines and for tower work--Anything goes for the most part.
