Who's afraid of heights?

It would really suck to get a case of the fumble fingers and drop a bolt.

Especially if it went through the hodd & into the engine of the vehicle you came in.

Yipes!
That last part - climbing the 3" or 4" pipe... almost made me sick watching it...
Nope - couldn't do it.

As bad as I thought hte rest was, that part cinched it for me. There is no way that could be particularly stable.

It'd make for a sweet prank on your last day on the job, that's for damn sure.

Opens lunch sac. "Peanut butter and jelly again?! I can't take it!! AAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Now that's scary funny. I could see the third ("new") guy in Bear's scenario thinking "Well..." and jumping too.

It's the deceleration trauma at the end of the fall that you have to be careful of.

Yes, at the bottom of the "depth"! Always the worst part. Although, they say that people who fall from tremendous heights often die of shock/fea before hitting the ground. Then again, that may just be to ease the minds of family/friends.

I watched the video again, and there are a few parts where they are climbing stuff that just happens to be climbable, but not designed for it. The part that makes me the most nervous, is where he is reaching around that pole with nothing to hold onto but the bolts and nuts.

Yeah, I had noticed that too and thought "WTF? Hell no!"
