Nice!.... they probably should go ahead and change that light bulb while they're up there.

The funny part is I have two buddies that do tower work, one for sure I know has been up towers like in the vid, and they still think I'm crazier than them for jumping. I've been going to go up a tower or two with the one buddy but for some reason our schedules never line up or there is something in the way. Looks fun though. If I was on that tower I think i'd almost want a base rig. You ride and elavator for the biggest part of the journey.

Not all towers that big have elevators...

This isn't flying, its falling with style.
