Sponge Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I watched some videos on this stuff. You have some gigantic balls.Dam gotta have nerves of steel I guessWe refer to the 300ft tower we are working on now as a "shorty". It only takes about 2.5 second freefall to your death. We work on towers up to 1,200 ft. Some radio towers are alot higher. The scariest part is having a helicopter hover 100ft above your head while you're 1000ft off the ground. There is no room for mistakes while I communicate with the chopper pilot. He brings in the structural, radar units, and heavy equipment that can't be climbed up. The downforce wind of the blades while your hanging on is a intense situation. example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Lol with,my vertigo I'd be scraped off the ground by the first dayDon't think for 1sec that I'm not scared while up there. The anxiety is real, but you have to stay focused. And I do have life insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 A meltdown is fully acceptable after losing to Blaine friggin Gabbert. I watch on an old black and white TV, and could have sworn that was Steve Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
