You can hear the sound of his cast-iron balls clanking together :aaa:
My hands were sweaty by the end of that.
I couldn't stop watching.
:eek:
Also I liked how they blurred out the mans face In case someone recognized him in the street and vomited from awesome.
:vom:
I would do that. I would require heaps of cash and a license to kill and a free monster truck, but I'd do it.
I started to feel ill when they just showed the little pictures of the different towers for size comparison.
:aaa:
Nope; can't finish this video.
Note: The list of things I wouldn't do for those things is, however, quite short.

Ugg queasy stomach and adrenalin rush apparently I have yet to overcome my fear of heights.
This was actually fascinating, but I would never have been able to do it. Things that high sway in the slightest breeze and OMG I would puke as I fell.....

ANOTHER UPDATE:
FAA-FCC licensing specialist Timothy Doughty with law firm Keller and Heckman told io9 that he's confirmed that OSHA does not allow free climbing. He wrote to us in e-mail: "According to the BLM Manual Handbook 1292-1 climbers are to maintain 100% attachment at all times."

That, I think, is the mightiest death a guy like me can hope for in this safer, saner world we live in.
The woozy feeling didn't hit me until he got to the very top, with "This is the tricky part..."
