Guest davidh10 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 No it isn't a joke. Have you ever wondered how the aviation beacon light on the top of a tower is repaired? A helicopter sound like a good idea? Well, no... Make sure you are strapped into your chair and watch this <object id="1917281" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" alt="Climbing A 1786 Foot Tall Tower Funny Videos" width="580" height="354"> <embed src="http://embed.break.com/MTkxNzI4MQ==" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="580" height="354"></object> Climbing A 1786 Foot Tall Tower - Watch more Funny Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing David.........I to thought they would have done replacements hanging from a chopper? Cheers Alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Danger money,why danger money,didn`t look a bit dangerous to me but man was that tower weak,did you see how much it was swaying??? Cheers, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Imagine getting all the way to the Top, and realizing that you forgot the Light Bulb."**** i left the light bulb in the Car, better go back down get it."lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Pretty impressive, I'd feel safer with a chute at that height! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Even i was flinching. I hate things that move and sway. denfinatly would be taking the fast way down tho. vertical climbs are hard, you would be very fit to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Gnu Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Some folk just enjoy this sort of thing actually.... but I suspect a fairly tiny minority! Then again how many people think you are crazy nuts floating around below a piece of fabric like an oversized kids kite with a lawnmower engine attached?

Guest disperse Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Without any shame what so ever. I can proudly state that I do not have anywhere near big enough Ka Huna's for that job. Ps TWO mistakes in the commentary. 1)if lighting comes there is NO FAST WAY DOWN. wrong there is a fast way, just not advisable. 2) at the end he say's " And thats how YOU" get to the top of a transmission tower. WRONG AGAIN. TOP VID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 My old heli school at maroochydore Qld Interesting. I didn't see any measures to equalise electrical potentials between the helicopter and the tower. It usually isn't a good idea to use a person to discharge the static build-up. It isn't the person that is supposed to light-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
