Whoa!!!!!!
Tried to watch but, I'm just recouping from a 10 Ft. fall I took from which I sustained a split head, split nose and a broken wrist.
Started off in one wrist cast but a week later, it wasn't healing properly so they had to re-break it and set it in another cast but
'lo and behold, it still wasn't healing straight so they did surgery to implant temporary pins into the bones and again, another cast.
But Whoo Hoo! - It's healed perfectly (after 8 long weeks of continual agonizing pain) - pins are out and cast is off!!!!!
Now, with some physio, I should be able to regain full use of my hand and wrist again - I'm so looking forward to getting back to my quilting (of course, I'm right handed and that was the wrist I broke) not to mentioned my other daily routines that took ever so long to accomplish having the use of only my left hand.
Moral to my story - I don't plan on doing this again any time soon!!!!!!

If the camera could have stayed still but between the size of the screen and the movement, that's what gives you the nauseous feeling. Makes you think you're in motion when you're not.
I've heard too about some of OSHA's regulations with the safety harnesses. Don't think that should be an option---EVER. Guess if you ever fell they would side with the company, so no payout.
Curious to know how much they make an hour to do something necessary but entirely crazy?

I can feel a twenty story building swaying without looking out of a window, (I know it is all in my mind), much less doing something like this without a saftey line connected at all times. I am sitting on a chair with my feet on the floor and my hands are sweating. Then someone mentioned the tower swaying!!!!!????? I couldn't look at the whole video..... :oops:
But of course I emailed the link to everyone I know. :lol:
