nc211 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was performing a site inspection this morning, took a photo from the rooftop of a neighboring tower going up, and got a suprise when I returned to the office to pull it off the camera. It's probably best to download the photo to your computer so you can zoom in to where I've drawn a black line. You want to talk about some serious nerves of steel! WHOLY SMOKES!

dcfish Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Although it seems like a dangerous job, Taking into consideration that all the safety measures are in place, I would take that job in a heartbeat. What a life experience it would be B) And that is no bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djspawn00 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've worked on shaky scaffolding w/o harness before... so if that job pays better than my current job... i'd take it... especially considering that I'm facing being downsized... anything to keep my in a lex.

nc211 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Damn, that guy sure does cut it close to the road and ground towards the end! WOW, that's insane! I'd drop my organs in my shorts if I had to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymsixsix Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 WOW, that looks like a lot of fun! I would prefer doing something like that, as opposed to hanging on the side of a building, oddly enough. Although, I don't think I'd cut it that close by gliding that close to the side of the mountain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(shaking head) I know!! That was awsome! Way cool! after the video they had on the side a list of related videos, so I looked at a few more and there was this guy that had jets on his ankles and used the same wing suit to actually fly!! When he first jumped off the hot air balloon, the camera guy who jumped with him to film it was just falling, and you watched this guy just disappear! Man that was just too cool!

90LS400Lexus Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ew, I would not do it. I cannot even walk across a boat dock. Is that tower going up in downtown Raleigh? I have family there and have been into downtown, but its been years. Thats a nice tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
