Could you do this job?

Derrickhand?

Not anymore. I am an electronics tech now. Got all kinds of sensors up there.

I have a fear of heights, but I'm one of those people that believes everything can be had for a price. For the right amount of money I'd suck it up. It would be way above market value, though.

 

[Longboysfan]

No. No way.

 

[Mash]

Wow.....im not usually afraid of heights....but there is no way I could do that.

They made it look so easy.

 

[Hostile]

The only thing that really bothers me about that video is the other guy coming up too and the tools in the bag below. If I am going to do a job like that, I do not want someone else up there that I have to watch out for. I think the tools ought to be cabled to the tower and already up there. Lastly and I'm sure this would make it illegal. I would base jump off to go down.

Heights don't really bother me, but I will admit, my arms would be very sore after that climb because I would be gripping pretty tight.

Oh, and yes, I would expect a freakish load of money for doing that.

I have such a fear of heights I turned down an invitation to join a bridge club.

 

[WV Cowboy]

When I was younger I would have done it for the money. I foolishly thought I could do anything, .. and feared nothing. We did some stupid stupid stuff.

Not now. Not interested.

 

[baj1dallas]

That would be my dream job.

 

[Ranched]

Nada.

Did anyone see the new skyscrapper going up in NY at ground zero? The video we just watched was 1768ft high. Look at this monsterous beauty.
They interviewed some of the workers on the evening news about how they like climbing that high. They said it doesn't even phase them.
