Does anyone know how these things are built/assembled?
Also, if you're afraid if heights, watch at your own risk. This will definitely make your asshole pucker and your hands sweaty.

I'm not afraid of heights but my butt would be puckered tighter than a sheet of 1" steel up there.

You know that classic picture of those steel workers sitting on that thin I beam having lunch while building the empire state building ? IMO that was more daring than these guys at 1700 ft and those steel workers did that every damn day !!!

I used to climb towers, but nothing over 200'. My buddy would safety himself on the outside of the towers, lean back and take a nap on our lunch breaks. He'd be swaying in the wind and snoring.

Obligatory....my 'tower' is bigger than that!
As much as having to piss might suck....a mad case of the shits would be far worse. I mean it's not like you could drop your pants and let go....at that height you could kill someone below.

Don't know if video showed that or not |

I feel a lot better watching these videos now knowing that they have parachutes.

my old employer had a tower building division (that was essentially defunct) but one of the tower guys still worked as a shop guy. A couple of times a year he would fly or drive somewhere, climb a tower as high as 1000ft and replace a light bulb or install anti-bird spikes. He certainly didn't have a parachute.
