just watching this made me nervous

[–]Gilffanclub 100 points101 points ago

This video makes me nervous

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFMHjDqHL_Y

[–]Pogotross 86 points87 points ago

I watched that whole video to see a light bulb get changed, and it cut out before the money shot. WTF is up with that?!

[–]Mexer 53 points54 points ago

Giving them parachutes would be a good idea

[–]SilentWalrus92 25 points26 points ago

Exactly my thoughts. The climb back down would be a bitch

[–]chismer 17 points18 points ago

How about a zipline to make it worth the trip?

[–]teuast 7 points8 points ago

If there was a zipline down from that, I would learn how to do this stuff just so I could get this job. Come to think of it, parachuting down wouldn't be too bad either.

[–]DuncanDonutz 1 point2 points ago

How would it slow down?...

[–]jselvey 1 point2 points ago

"Gonna get some of that sweet gnar gnar."

[–]MizerokRominus 0 points1 point ago

This is an interesting idea, but people tend to act more loosely when they know that there is a safety mechanism there to protect them.

[–]ThreeOclockBreakfast 2 points3 points ago

There are lines that support the tower, parachutes are impossible as they would be caught on the lines.

[–]ThreeOclockBreakfast 1 point2 points ago

I stand corrected. Thank you.

[–]WombatDominator 26 points27 points ago

FUCK that, I was on the edge of my seat thinking one of those handles was going to randomly snap off.

[–]LegioXIV 1 point2 points ago

yeah fuck that.

[–]Drderp134 0 points1 point ago

what seat?

[–]Lertz 70 points71 points ago

I'm surprised he could reach the top of that tower. His enormous balls must've been weighing him down a lot.

[–]Phallic 36 points37 points ago

Hey, thanks for that fresh new material. Nice to see original jokes on here.

[–]Jon76 2 points3 points ago

You'd think that with a username like that, you'd enjoy such material.

[–]Forbichoff -2 points-1 points ago

reddit is like that. nothing but new links and fresh jokes these days.

[–]MarriedToReddit 17 points18 points ago

Clicks link; recognizes video.

NOPE NOPE NOPE BACK BACK BACK.

[–]Kdub360 7 points8 points ago

Wish i would have recognized the video... my hands are soooo fucking sweaty..

[–]Nafarious 9 points10 points ago

Why couldn't they just fly him up there in a helicopter, and then attach a cord to him, and he gets out onto it. ...

[–]Under200in2012 13 points14 points ago

You have to pay helicopters a lot more than maybe fifteen dollars an hour.

[–]Anonymous_Bosch 9 points10 points ago

I'd say guys like this make serious money..

[–]Under200in2012 17 points18 points ago

I'd say guys like this make serious money..

You'd say that... But the fifteen was not a guess. I work on cell and radio towers and train people to climb them. Its not as high paying as i wish it were.

[–]ezd 9 points10 points ago

That's insane, I don't think you could pay me enough to do this job.

[–]mustardhamsters 6 points7 points ago

I bet there are people who would pay to do this job, though.

[–]strikerx 1 point2 points ago

AMA Please! :)

[–]Nafarious 0 points1 point ago

I guess that does make sense.

[–]SilentWalrus92 7 points8 points ago

Get the fuck out of here with your logic

[–]thathaze 0 points1 point ago

That would be a lot more expensive

[–]pitlord713 0 points1 point ago

Yeah lets jsut rent a Helicopter for $2k when we have two perfectly capable men for the job that will do it for $45 an hour

[–]Under200in2012 0 points1 point ago

45 an hour! if only my friend.

[–]pitlord713 0 points1 point ago

haha yeah dude alot of union workers in construction make $45/h

[–]Xenoo 4 points5 points ago

Crazy video and much respect for the workers that do that. But the OP's post, the guy doesn't have a safety harness connecting him, which makes it even more crazy.

[–]CantBeSerious51 9 points10 points ago

Actually, in the video linked, neither does he(besides when resting).

[–]Nafarious 3 points4 points ago

I... I can't...

how...

[–]Nepho -1 points0 points ago

holy shit

[–]jyoon86 2 points3 points ago

Man, I can't even do a ladder climb, which is about 7 feet off the ground, without my legs shaking.

[–]ID10T_er 0 points1 point ago

my palms were getting sweaty watching that

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]ID10T_er 0 points1 point ago

theres vomit on his shirt spaghetti

[–]Raneados 1 point2 points ago

Man. I would love that job.

Take Your Child To Work Day would be awesome.

[–]BunnyPoppit 0 points1 point ago

TLDNW

[–]Drderp134 0 points1 point ago

why wouldn't you just use a helicopter for it?

[–]Echidnae 0 points1 point ago

Why doesn't you boss pay you a cab to get to work?

[–]Drderp134 -1 points0 points ago

I have no job. I'm a full time student and I live at home.

With that said, I need help answering your question.

[–]2manybitches 0 points1 point ago

What exactly is the point of the hard hat?

[–]tonterias 1 point2 points ago

Since when is changing a bulb a two men job? This is bullshit!

[–]BallsackTBaghard 0 points1 point ago

I want to see how they built this thing

[–]joe_shmo123 1 point2 points ago

Stop randomly showing up on my reddit! First /r/trees now here...hope everything is okay in Germany.

[–]fifteentango88 2 points3 points ago

ha yeah dude germany is sick. i'm telling you, you jim and antman need to take a trip out here. i'm going to oktoberfest in munich next weekend.

[–]Drderp134 1 point2 points ago

What's up with Germany?

[–]Fusion124 1 point2 points ago

Not only did my heart rate rise, my palms got sweaty in the 10 seconds of gif.

[–]Marckoz 1 point2 points ago

watching this makes me light-headed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJaNi3_o4o

[–]zenith66 76 points77 points ago

An heir of the Auditore family for sure

[–]That_GIF_Guy 48 points49 points ago

Now where's that hay cart?

[–]thebballer25 17 points18 points ago

Look for the bird shit on the roofs

[–]White_Luigi 3 points4 points ago

I wish I could express how many times bird shit saved my life.

[–]Vectera 49 points50 points ago

... Fuck that shit.

[–]danhole 16 points17 points ago

My hands are drenched in sweat from watching this twice.

[–]kesodia 30 points31 points ago

My whole body is soaked in semen

[–]danhole 9 points10 points ago

Just checked to see if you had gw posts...

[–]kesodia 12 points13 points ago

As any rational human being would do

[–]Kwaugh96 31 points32 points ago

i cant even climb into a chair without falling

[–]dieded 33 points34 points ago

Holy shit, that guys got a massive set of balls to do that.

[–]Wworkin 29 points30 points ago

Ballsy, but so stupid

[–]down_vote_city__ 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to assume he's base jumping at the video was cut short.

[–]WonkaKnowsBest 0 points1 point ago

I get scared as fuck climbing rock walls in a building with a harness. I don't know what i'd do when i got to the top of this.

[–]CKBeach 20 points21 points ago

I get vertigo just watching stuff like this

[–]Bakuroneko 16 points17 points ago

He doesn't seem to have any sort of safety equipment does he? I didn't see anything that would keep him from falling to his death.. As someone who's terrified by height, this is damn scary

[–]dragoninjasasin 16 points17 points ago

There is no safety equipment used. I watched a video on this a while back. They explain that constantly attaching and detaching clips would be too tiring and time consuming.

[–]chingyduster 19 points20 points ago

Fuck safety, lets roll the dice.

[–]effinwha 9 points10 points ago

Climb check. DC 67.

[–]Under200in2012 11 points12 points ago

That video was incorrect. I train people to climb these towers, there is safety equipment to wear and free climbing is not the correct way.

[–]WombatDominator 5 points6 points ago

Have you watched the videos about the russian kids climbing old towers? That shit makes me queasy as hell.

EDIT:Here ya go, some workout routines for you.

[–]Bakuroneko 2 points3 points ago

Holy fucking shit russians are some scary people

[–]cptrooster 7 points8 points ago

My feet started throbbing with anxiety as this gif progressed.

[–]jeffInBK 5 points6 points ago

my palms got sweaty. wow.

[–]Dudemanbroski 1 point2 points ago

Yes, my feet always get a strange feeling when I see something like this.

[–]Phoequinox 11 points12 points ago

The loop scared the fuck out of me.

[–]Soapy9 5 points6 points ago

I thought he'd fallen off for a split second.

[–]zekerep 4 points5 points ago

Relax everyone, he is Russian.

[–]Hewgag 3 points4 points ago

itstoodamnhigh.jpg

[–]bklynzbest 9 points10 points ago

"imagine jumping off that" Me: "wtf brain"

[–]Spongi 5 points6 points ago

Call of the Void.

[–]webid792 0 points1 point ago

Nice view, but why not show that? And why didnt he fall? boring....

[–]aznwhiteboi 2 points3 points ago

I'm surprised his huge balls didn't get in the way

[–]torontonian13 0 points1 point ago

[–]Ttl 10 points11 points ago

It's the same guy, but different video.

This is the video where the gif is from. 0:50 for the impatient.

[–]torontonian13 0 points1 point ago

True, thanks. I couldn't find the exact one.

[–]cgunner 0 points1 point ago

hah! I made that song my ringtone lol Thanks for the link.

[–]KosherNazi 1 point2 points ago

Except it's not...

[–]dishwasherphobia 0 points1 point ago

I knew as soon as I saw the gif that this guy had to be Russian.

[–]Laika_Come_Home 1 point2 points ago

I shit my pants just watching the gif.

[–]Coolsix 0 points1 point ago

It looks like it's taken out of one of my nightmares, were i am trapped on a small platform like that.

[–]michaeljane 1 point2 points ago

When the gif restarted I thought he fell :l

[–]XxcontaminatexX 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else get a little dizzy

[–]ronaldraygun91 1 point2 points ago

I have no idea how some people have the balls for that. Wow

[–]MuthMuth 1 point2 points ago

This made me lean aaaaaall the way back in my seat. Fuck that shit. Fuck it all.

[–]electrosaurus -1 points0 points ago

No.

[–]warsaun86 0 points1 point ago

If someone paid you $1 million cold hard cash to do this, would you? I don't think I could!

[–]Murmadurk 0 points1 point ago

How does he climb with balls that huge?

[–]mowens87 1 point2 points ago

If you have the time for these two videos, they are also pants shittingly high altitude burnouts.

Power line tech

1768 tower climb

He gets a ride to 1600 feet then climbs the rest of the way to work on the tower. Tools and all.

[–]WeLoveKanjimari 1 point2 points ago

It wasnt too bad until he got to the top.

Dont fucking sit on it...how the hell will you ever get back onto the ladder rungs?! auhguahguahugah

[–]nate800 0 points1 point ago

....Fuck. That.

[–]ericmoritz 1 point2 points ago

Not as terrifying as those russian kids climbing that suspension bridge in flip-flops.

EDIT: video

[–]siammang 0 points1 point ago

Now you may take a leap of faith!

[–]iHaxzor 0 points1 point ago

My palms got sweaty...

[–]nic_Z 0 points1 point ago

Now jump

[–]knit1purl1 0 points1 point ago

Watching that made me feel more nauseous than anything I've seen on /WTF or /gore

[–]crackerseverywhere 0 points1 point ago

The worst part to me is not the height (although it's still fucking scary), it's the fact that I have no control of his outcome. If it was me, I'd be super slow and careful, whereas I can't control what he does so it makes falling more realistic.

[–]minisodamiranda 0 points1 point ago

I watched this whole video... pretty sure I was in a cold sweat by the end,

[–]darmon 0 points1 point ago

I came this close to banning you for this. Consider this your final warning. :)

[–]ChefPorkchop 0 points1 point ago

[–]Fredderov 0 points1 point ago

Ok when it looped I felt a brick in my pants!

[–]HipsterHedgehog -1 points0 points ago

Where's the haystack he's supposed to dive into? This is Assassin's Creed, right?

[–]pitlord713 -1 points0 points ago

The people that do this are unreal. You have to fucking climb down to!

I love doing shit for adrenaline rushes. But I can't decide if I'd want to do this.

[–]jjb29 0 points1 point ago

Only the part where he reaches the top and throws his leg over...that's the part where I shifted in my seat.

[–]Loaderini 0 points1 point ago

WHY

[–]Anonymous_Bosch 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone else feel their legs go weak when they watch stuff like this?

[–]mark331 0 points1 point ago

Ever just get knocked down by a random gust of wind?

[–]ProfProphet713 0 points1 point ago

no.

[–]SuperSalad160 -1 points0 points ago

[–]monkeyf1st 0 points1 point ago

I thought to myself, "HOLY SHIT THANK GOODNESS HE DIDN'T STAND ON TOP OF IT"

[–]alcpwn3d 0 points1 point ago

Oh hell no. This made me feel sick..

[–]CookenBaked 0 points1 point ago

Well that's not safe.

[–]perpetualconfusion 0 points1 point ago

I thought he was going to stand on the platform once he got to the top and it made my heart skip a beat. Fuck.

[–]tastyhihatwork 0 points1 point ago

What a pussy, he should have stood on it.

[–]iwatchyoupee 0 points1 point ago

More pixels please.

[–]shnoiv 0 points1 point ago

Nope.

[–]Darktidemage 0 points1 point ago

No shit. You are climbing a ladder.

[–]dMarrs 0 points1 point ago

That is a reoccurring nightmare for me. I 'wake up' and I am at the very top of a tower on top of a skyscraper.

[–]looking_for_internsh 0 points1 point ago

My hands are clammy.

[–]RickDripps 0 points1 point ago

Imagine getting to the very top. Then climbing and standing up on it. Stretching your arms out and closing your eyes... Then you start to lean and you don't think to stop yourself. You know it is over now but you keep your eyes shut hoping that, by some miracle, this isn't actually happening.

Then you find yourself sitting at your computer knowing you are completely safe.

[–]zants 0 points1 point ago

When I'm up high like that is the only time I feel truly calm.

[–]Welbow 0 points1 point ago

slightly unrelated, but is there anything on the internet that gives you the sensation of falling? i remember something like this happening.. it was from something stupid iirc, it was like on a jump map in counterstrike..i'd fall and it gave me the feeling that i was actually falling.

[–]prometheus1981 0 points1 point ago

NOPE!

[–]Schobbo 0 points1 point ago

one of the scariest things to watch, and it just keeps getting worse

[–]shnizzaga 0 points1 point ago

I bet the guy doing this wasnt nervous at all

[–]scd17 1 point2 points ago

thanks for the heart attack, here's an upvote

[–]AnViLLiaN- 1 point2 points ago

My hands and feet got sweaty just from watching this.

[–]Athene_Wins 1 point2 points ago

$100,000 on top of there? Mine if I can climb up to it? No thanks bro, I'm good

[–]morrocc 0 points1 point ago

He must get so much tail by telling women what his job is.

"Hey baby, I change light bulbs for a living. Wanna fuck?"

Wait...

[–]FrontalPR 0 points1 point ago

ball size: invisible

[–]CheezIts_YAY 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how long it would take to fall from there.

[–]Walter_Joe_Kovacs 1 point2 points ago

Coward... a real idiot would have stood upright on the top platform.

[–]SkippyTheDog 0 points1 point ago

I would be ok with climbing it, but I most certainly wouldn't sit on the damn thing. I trust my arms and grip more than anything else, ain't no way they're losing contact with the ladder for something stupid like sitting down...

[–]George_Kaplan 0 points1 point ago

Bollocks: Tingling.

[–]just_dale 0 points1 point ago

Legitimately scared, hold me.

[–]4b3Fr0m4n 0 points1 point ago

Nope!

[–]Dudemanbroski 0 points1 point ago

I always get a strange feeling at the bottom of my feet when I see something like this.

[–]koves17 0 points1 point ago

I hate watching these videos yet every time I see one it leads me down the YouTube wormhole

[–]JarekBloodDragon 0 points1 point ago

Watching this gives me more of a "oh that's awesome" response rather than a fear response. I like being in high places. Probably why I've done a bit of rock climbing.

[–]samm1one 0 points1 point ago

Lightning Boom!

[–]Schonke 0 points1 point ago

What's up with Russia and climbable towers with nothing on top?
