The U.S.'s Most Dangerous Profession > Its not the fall thats fatal...

Well if it were me personally, I'd suffice to say wrapping up or hitting the tower is a much better option than plummeting to your death. I mean depending on the force you hit the tower, it might be fatal or lead to severe injuries. Still, you might just have a few broken bones. It beats the alternative, almost certain death. If base jumpers got Parachutes that can open, Im sure something can be made for these guys.
