Thread: Scary reality

  1. #1

    Default Scary reality

    Until yesterday, I did not know what radio tower workers had to live through. Do you think that it should be illegal for companies to send their employees out with such little protection? Just remember this is all free climbing, excluding the brakes they have, without any sort of harness or rope. What are your opinions on this?

    Forgot to say: I believe that the workers should have double carabinas and they have to have one attached at least. This way when they unclip one they still have the other one (should be placed above them) for safety.

    Same here. I am pretty sure I would instantly die if I went into his position since I start panicking after only about 5 metres.

    No way Sir. I also think this would be one of the coolest jobs ever. Holy cow, looks amazing.

    Just a teensy bit dangerous though...

    Illegal? No.

    Someone has to do it.

    I bet they get payed a lot as well.

    It's not like they are forced to do the job. They knew what they signed up for.

    It probably is as safe as it can be.

    There must be a margin of safety?

    Well, this is just like mining. You get alot of money from it ($32,000 for every climb) but your putting your life on the line.

    Really? With no harness on 95% of the time?

    I've seen that before. A friend of mine's brother used to do that. He retired early.

    I suggest that the companies that send people to do this equips the workers with parachutes, and trains them on how to use parachutes.

    Sad thing about this is I heard of one of my distant cousins had a friend that died from this if I remember right.
    I would never do this.
