Gladly not one of my sites, but very local to me.

Just watching this gave me sweaty palms and a retracting sensation!

I couldn't do that, I'd be too knackered climbing the ladder 🙂

Good work doing it in daylight. Cranes are fun 😉

Amazingly he survived that!

The "think of the children" excuse is often trotted out, and it's rubbish - as the person from the contractor says in the article, cranes have lots of anti-climb measures (usually) so it's not something a bored kid would go do on a whim.

Sadly for him he'll never be cool as he's not all over the internet wearing a dodgy jumper.

[i]Re the Base Jumpers death. I refuse to watch that. [/i]

even though he didn't die?

Reading the comment on YouTube he did take 3 months to get walking again.

A mate of mine was a base jumper - he died in a fall in December 2009. A video of some of his stuff:

I was fine till he hung from the crane with one arm. 😳

And I did a little giggle at the base jumper - it was the big splash of snow 🙂

[i]reminded me of Wiley coyote[/i]

Exactly what I thought!

Never seen such a nervous basejumper. With good reason I guess..!
