AdamSmith Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I have a paralyzing fear of heights and I can't resist watching these things. (Now cue zipperzone to remark on their evident deathwish etc. ) Quote

(Now cue zipperzone to remark on their evident deathwish etc. ) OK, I will - hate to disappoint you. They really must have a death wish, or else no frickin brains. Quote
Guest zipperzone Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Come to think of it, they are not much different than the iron workers that when building skyscrapers, walk out on the beams and sit down on them to eat their lunch. I have trouble even looking at pictures of them doing this. Quote
Guest Paragon Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Some of those guys are really cute, and I would hate to see their smashed up face if they miss the mark. The one hanging from a rod with one hand way above the ground is betting his life that the rod holds...given Russian construction, I wouldn't have been so sure. In this video, the quality is not as good, but the stunts even scarier. It appears to be one guy, who briefly shows his cute face as he walks to the edge of an extended crane. Stupid! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8c7_1328424404 Quote
AdamSmith Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I had that very same thought -- it's a wonder some of that Russian iron work, masonry, etc. hasn't broken off or crumbled in their hands. Quote
