Hi Pat,<br>
<br>
This 1768 foot tower climbing video has gone viral in the wind
industry. Just for the record,<br>
although this is an impressive and entertaining "training" video,
this guy is not only an idiot,<br>
he's also in a lot of trouble from the communications industry,
Verizon and OSHA. <br>
<br>
The fact that this video was first posted on a so called legitimate
training website makes it<br>
all the more disturbing. But it is impressive.....<br>

I believe the young man fell through a skylight
while moving equipment during construction. Much
more likely way to die since most people assume
a skylight will bear their weight if they fall
against it. Edge of roof falls definitely occur,
but self preservation instincts are usually much
more heightened in these areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
