Brian Mcoy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Mcoy isn't afraid of heights. Mcoy prefers being on the ground though. Mcoy knows some people are born to be natural climbers but this is insane. Mcoy was wondering If anyone here does or know's anyone who works on jobs in insane conditions like this.

jayseven Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Stumbled on this a while ago -- absolutely horrible! Probably worse than a vid I posted ages ago of some dudes doing chin-ups on a crane. Hate how videos can make you feel as if you're really there. Hands were sweating when I watched this. Does he mention how much he gets paid for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah I remember this video..........from the last time it was posted on here :p Still insane though, makes me feel ill when I watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I haven't had to yet, but there are occasions where for my job I'll be climbing 200 feet into the air to work. So far I haven't had to climb more than about 30 though. I do prefer ground work though, because well it's on the ground and it's usually less of a pain to get to where one needs to be compared to on scaffolds.

Raining_again Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 ahh, mcoy you are a class act. I've watched that video when it was last posted, and I did actually feel physically sick after it... not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Paul Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Bloody hell that's high. Makes me wonder why they don't just get a helicopter to get up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Watching that video, I really have a sudden urge to just jump. I love heights. I love rollercoasters and watching people jump from a plane or bungee jump. I'd love to do that one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Watching that video, I really have a sudden urge to just jump. I love heights. I love rollercoasters and watching people jump from a plane or bungee jump. I'd love to do that one day. That's a feeling I recognise. I have a fascination with the idea of a free fall (with measurements taken to prevent me from dying, of course), like a bungee or parachute jump. If I can muster enough courage, I'd love to try one or the other once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Been looking for this! THIS is my fear. Heights aren't a fear of mine - not being protected/held in is. hjwf ief jef ef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I do have a phobia of heights, but I'm generally ok with it. I like to see how close I can get to the edges of high things before I completely freak out. I'm also not fond of being up ladders, but I still tend to go up them when urbexing. I'd only regret it if I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit-Jr Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Im not so much scared of heights as i am watching other people around heights. It fills me with me dread and im always 100 percent sure theyre gonna trip and fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kav Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I love heights they're exhilirating! I've been rock climbing quite a bit but not for a while unfortunately... I'll have to get back to it. Funnily enough though, I don't enjoy rollercoasters... I find them a bit, well, boring really! They don't give any excitement I find. I think the problem is that you see te track ahead of you so you know what's coming, plus they're just so safe, they lack a certain thrill.

MadDog Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm like Paj, aslong as i'm secure etc. i don't mind heights. I love rollercoasters/rides, but would hate going to the top of Blackpool tower or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 350 meters before you hit the ground. I'm not a fan of heights, but I never been in a place where it's considerably far down, so I can't really say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Heights make me nervous. I've got a bit of a fear of rollercoasters, I mean I have been on 1 or 2, but not really big time ones.
