 | Tower climbing One of the things that make the job dangerous besides the sudden stop when you fall, is the lack of depth at those heights. Many people have no problem climbing up, it's when they look down the problems start. Looking at that picture, you get a sense of the height, but it's not like being up there. That's something I can't even imagine. Plus you have the wind shaking the tower. If you look at the one guy's hair you can tell it's windy. It must be either late summer or early fall when that picture was taken. Would be even more interesting to see video. |

Most accidents are caused by fatigue and carelessness. Your hands and arms need lots of rest stops. |
