Video of a Nutter - not advisable if you dont like heights

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.

If you think going up was bad could you imagine the trip down :good:

 

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....

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.

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

:good:
