Hey, at least he didn't say "UR"

BMRLVR · 12-03-2010, 06:16 PM

I can relate to that job. I used to do industrial scaffolding in the large Oilsands Upgraders here in Fort McMurray prior to my current career as a Heavy Equipment Tech. Although I never got to those kinds of heights I did do jobs at 300'-400' above grade.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing!

SH*T!

That is one scary job. No harness at all either.

Made me real queasy just watching the video...

I have so much respect for that guy.

In a similar vain an old acquaintance (son of family friends) works in Australia repairing power lines only accessible by helicopter

Feyd · 12-03-2010, 07:58 PM

Yeah, repost but still cool.

I think I read that they get something like ~$100/ft.

I've seen video of this... pretty bad-ass.

khaye1 · 12-03-2010, 08:06 PM

^ yup...seen it too. they have to ground themselves to one of the wires while the chopper hovers close to the line...effin nuts

You can see the arcs when they're latching on...insane

Bakeme521 · 12-03-2010, 08:13 PM

Those guys have some rather large marbles, they just kept going and going.

FStop7 · 12-03-2010, 08:33 PM

I'm surprised that they're wearing jeans, I would have thought they'd want/need something that allows a wider range of motion.

I'm also surprised that the wind wasn't blasting them around up that high.

Seems crazy to not have harnesses or at least something more substantial for them to connect their lines to. I understand the towers need to be light, but damn... have a care for the guys who have to climb them.

damn that suck if you gotta use the restroom lol

I just thought about this today actually...anyone ever take notice of how physiologically trained we are to know how close to an acceptable bathroom we are? Was curious because I had a huge dinner last night, drank a bunch of coffee in the office this morning, and would normally have to take a major shit except that I had to leave before the coffee kicked in and didn't get back until early afternoon, at which point I took a shit. Never had to while I was out, though if I were in the office still I undoubtedly would have. CSB

=[monkey]= · 12-03-2010, 08:54 PM

lol, so what did he fix when he got to the top? damn i fix things under my hood and drop screw,nuts and tools in the engine bay all the time
