Members RA1 Posted June 4, 2015 Members Posted June 4, 2015 I have seen this before. I believe what they are doing is repairing the lightening rods. Something that prominent must be struck by lightening dozens if not hundreds of times a year. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members wayout Posted June 4, 2015 Members Posted June 4, 2015 Videos like that scare the bejeebers out of me, but I still can't help but watch it. I am amazed at what some people do, even with the safety precautions taken. Thanks for posting it. Quote

Something that prominent must be struck by lightening dozens if not hundreds of times a year. Best regards, RA1 I believe that you are correct. After looking at the video, it is seems clear that it is the electrical rods being repaired and changed and adjusted, not the lighting on the statue. The title of the video (written in Brazilian/Portuguese) says the work being done is repair to the lighting which is just a goof in translation from Portuguese to English. Quote
