Sick! I would love to see a video of that in 30 MPH winds. I have been to the top of the Statosphere and that is 500 feet shorter! I have seen people do Big shot and sky jump. Off the hook!

I give that a PUCKER FACTOR of 10++
THe only thing I did on top of the Stratosphere was the roller coaster. Sat in the outboard seat. That was cool! I'm doing the Big Shot next time!Originally Posted by NIKV69
It's always easier for me to climb UP but coming back down when I can't see behind and below me to the ladder- fuhgettaboutit
Went up on my Mom's roof in Lawrence last summer to hammer a gutter nail back into place, could not for the life of me get back down. There I was, on my belly trying to slide over the edge inch by inch, trying desperately to feel for the ladder rung with my foot, with my mother screaming "William do you want me ta call the fiah depahtment? Hang on, lemme call the fiah depahtment" and me screaming back to her with my face beet red "Don't you call them, dammit! They got better things to do than to save my sorry ass!"
So no, I would never, ever even go near this thing. Let somebody else change the damn lightbulb.
Well that's his job! And who knows if his management is giving him a choice (they explain how the rope slows them down... I dunno, just a thought). Gotta have respect for those guys.
we all know the only poles you climb.
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
When I worked on the 14th floor in NYC I would have to check the AC on the roof for my server room. The edge of the roof had a 1 foot ledge.... like of like a way to trip off the side of the building. I at first would have to creep up to the edge and could not look over the edge of the building. After a week I would walk up to the edge and lean over and look down the side of the building. It was scary as %#@# but I did it. I have no problem climbing up a and down but looking over that ledge was WILD. If I were the person at the to, I would probably secure myself at the top and lean out an in the harness .... THAT WOULD BE SCARY A %#@# but I would do it and always remember that moment. No issue at all climbing up....you not looking down. Climbing down you want to only pay attention to the next foot placement and not pay attention to the bigger picture. One step at a time. I would not fall off a 5 foot ladder, the only difference is in your brain when you look down and want to suck your thumb and cry for mommy.
I would miss airshow to get to do that! That would be awsome!!! Give me a parashoot and I would dive off in less than my fast as hell heartbeat.
If someone asked me to go skydiving and they were picking up the tab... You would not believe how fast I would be there. Live Once, Minimize risks but remember to live. Living in fear is not living.
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
Pass! Was getting dizzy just watching it.
So for everyone wondering what it's like to fall from an antenna of that height:

One of my all-time fav youtube vids
I would do it.. Its fun and u only live once.
Id prefer to BASe jump off of it afterwards though!
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
