I'm really sick now. I am SO scared of heights, and that just pretty much was the scariest thing I've ever seen. How do they do that without losing balance or getting vertigo?

I wonder if a head for heights like that is learned or if some people are just genetically programmed not to care. I can't even IMAGINE doing that.

I think it's a bit of both. A lack of imagination probably helps too. Thinking about falling makes you more likely to actually fall.

I had to force myself to keep watching. Terrifying that that's an everyday kind of thing for them.

I've watched steelworkers on buildings before and they expressed the same sentiment that these guys do: We don't want to be tethered because it makes us work too slowly.

What?!?!?

I want to be tether two eight separate places and have a parachute as well, just in case. I think I'm just not cut out for that kind of stuff.

I the UK, the Health and Safety Executive wouldn't allow work at heights like that without at least one tether. If there was a way of bringing the equipment down to work on it that would be prefereable to climbing at all.

The worst part is the fact that storm clouds were approaching. I can't imagine having to climb down quickly with the obvious threat of electrocution.
