When climbing towers, safety precautions are paramount.  This video, to me, indicates stupidity, and not bravery, or "being cool". Even stunt persons in the entertainment industry, and "daredevils" (think  along the lines of Evel Keneval) have safety precautions in place.

You only see videos of people DID NOT FALL--------------------

If there were videos of people falling (and the final 'stop") there would be less of this.

But for some people it is all about the rush-and they don't care about anything else.

I will give then one thing-they are in good shape

Ain't it great to have health insurance without a "stupidity" clause?

Health insurance doesn't pay for funerals, but it does pay for stupidity like obesity, amateur tree trimming accidents, car wrecks... most all of which could be prevented if the insured exhibited some common sense.

A friend of mine fell 40' out of a tree he was trimming with a chainsaw. He managed to throw the chainsaw away from him, but he landed on his head. On a rock.

Severe trauma and brain injury. Months of rehab. Miraculously, he walked out of the hospital within a month and is almost fully recovered, but he's still not back to work yet. He remembers falling.

Ironically, his employment at the time of his injury was as a nurse in the hospital where he was treated.

That is definitely ironic.  Did his coworkers describe him as a good patient or a bad patient? ;)

I suspect he's had to be very patient... ;)
