OMG! A scary really scary job! I really takes guts to do this.

The narration says: "This is a free climb. It's easier, faster, and no safety lines."

Sorry, I got to the Electrical box and I had to switch it off. :oops:
I don't like heights at the best of times, but the way the camera on his hat was moving I just couldn't take it any more Sad

Obviously their acrophobia gene isn't active! People that do this type of job just don't have fear most would have and studies have shown that there may be a connection with one of our gene types but this is negated by studies that show that the intensity of the task outweighs the height factor, thus it isn't a problem for them... remember the saying "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"! Smile Kudos to these guys!
