Fat Dog Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Anybody get the urge to jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Things like that don't bother me so long as there is something infront of and above the bloke/myself. I guess swinging from a 130ft high-tower filling traps has helped a bit. I would rather climb up that tower (without the 'standing on a podium bit' at the top) than go up a 30ft ladder and stand on a platform. Weird really.

Mungler Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 If you think going up was bad could you imagine the trip down No thanks Exactly. It was a ringer twitching experience to watch the guy go up, but going down and not being able to see your foot placement. Well, **** that for a game of soldiers. Also, putting your life in what looked like an extra long thin bolt at the top..... And imagine having to get down in a hurry because there's a storm coming. I wonder how much it sways in a slight breeze.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastiebap Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 That video gives me the willys. No way Jose would I be going up that bloody thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyR Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hands sweating, strange pains in my feet and calves, and that is just watching the video. How many of them fall off every year I wonder? At one point his carabiner is just casually slipped over the end of one of the rungs! Fair play to him and his mate but stuff that for a lark.

mr smith Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I wasn't expecting anything of that height. Inside the tower no probs, outside? Nah. Standing on the top? My hands were sweating ALOT! I'd love to have that job, I'm sure after a few years that would seem normal! Sorry but that ain't normal.

shot shot Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I've actually jumped from the top of a 30ft telegraph pole, to a trapeze bar hanging 6ft away. Ok, so I was harnessed up, but at the end of the day, I was unsupported. and yes, I was a nutter child, climbing tall trees and falling from them. branches on the way down leave some unusual coloured bruises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth0689 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I do stack testing and regularly work at heights, however nothing more than around 180-200ft. I would love to do that just for the experience, even if it was only once. I bet the view is incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Tingling spuds? I had to pop mine back out. First vid wouldn't load as it's been taken off but the second one... Sod that. You'd have to pay me some seriously silly dough to do that and even then with 2 safety ropes and a chute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
