      Worse, you get to the top and forget your tool bag 😆
      Ok not worse but it would suck.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                      I've seen that video of climbing the tower before. I watched it again my my little boy. The palms of my hands are sweating from that. 😲

                              Not sure I'd like that tower, either. At least it has stairs, though.

                                Definitly NOT a job for me. 😲
                                My hand are all sweaty and my fingers and feet hurt just by watching.
                                I wonder why?

                                The worst part was near the top when he just held with one hand.

                                Why not use a parachute for the way down?

                                  Some people do this sort of thing for fun.

                                  I knew a guy about 20 years ago who would climb the antenna towers around Madison, Wisconsin. He did it without any safety gear and he would do it at night. He'd carry a stuffed animal with him and tie it to the tower near the top so when a worker went up to service the beacon or whatever, they'd find it. I lost track of him. I wonder if he got a job climbing them or what.

                                  Then there are these Russian kids.

                                        That was so hard to watch, I had to force myself to finish. I was hoping they had parachutes on, but NO 😲 Besides crazy, what kind of a person do you have to be to do that? The funny thing about it, I have jumped out of a plane at 13k feet above the ground and had no problems but being a bit nervous and the thought of bungee jumping just horrifies me.

                                          what do you think their wives say to them every morning before they go off to work?

                                          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                            probably, 'have a nice day honey' while their fingers are crossed.
