as someone whos worked at heights , and done New Zealands highest water touch bungee jump
all you need to remember is any fall over 20 ft means a trip home in a coffin.
the extra 200 ft or so is just for contemplating your existance on the way down - at 9.8 mtrs per second
;-D

I was literally just typing that as your post popped up. Your dead either way for sure. It just looks terrifying.

as for bungee jumps, not a chance....starting to get the idea i am definitely not cut out for this

D'oh, this has all just got me to that part of Youtube where Russian kids free climb skyscrapers, radio masts and bridge towers. Now my man bits feel funny...

 

[wade88]

Mate.... that russian kid is a total nutter!!!! See the video where he walks out on the limb of that fully erected crane, then starts doing pull ups.....PULL UPS!!!!!!!! off the very edge on the bottom rung. Mad man.

outer space is hardly a man made structure that you climb to change a lamp.

A good effort though!

Rope Access is dead safe anyway, it's all done on top ropes (I think)
You just need the cojanas to step out into the void.

It's leader falls when out climbing that freak me out.
