    Man, that is hard to watch...why don't they make those towers retractable?

    That is so scary, I hope he had a parachute on....

    There is not a snow balls chance in hell I'd ever do that. Ever. Never, ever, ever.

    Not for Warren Buffet's and Bill Gates's fortunes combined would I even do that once.

    actually, I think I would be down to try this. I mean, just make sure you get good footing on every step and climb slowly.

    i don't think i'd have trouble getting up there, but getting down would be VERY uncomfortable

    There'd be a lot of cursing and womanly screaming if I went up there with a microphone.

    It's like a game show, where they try to find ways to make the game harder and harder....I could definitely manage with a line and if you were "inside" the whole time, but stepping out AND without a line? With 30 pounds waving around? Maybe once for several million and i'd hook myself on every step, but I couldnt do it freestyle most of the way and as my job....

    I don't even want to think about how shaky it is at the top. It must feel like the tower is about to snap in half!
