    That was awesome. I love heights, i can't recall ever getting really scared because of it. To climb that and then get on the outside of the rail down to the end like that takes some serious balls. Ill pass on that part.

    You have to have an acceptance with death if you doing this. If you fear for your life in anyway i can't imagine youd last very long.

    Exactly!

    Fatal bandwidth: 6 cell tower deaths in 5 weeks

    There's a price to pay for the wireless networks we take for granted.
    On May 16, Jonathan Guilford, 25, of Fort Payne, Alabama, was working on an AT&T UMTS (3G) project in Haubstadt, Ind., when he fell to his death from a 200-foot tower, according to a report in Wireless, an online newsletter that covers the communications construction industry.

    Falls from high towers are not unheard of in this business. But for more than four months -- between Dec. 5 and April 11 -- the industry was fatality free.

    The toll, as recorded by Wireless Estimator:

    ·April 12: A 34-year-old cell tower technician from Oklahoma man died after falling 150 feet from monopole antenna in Wake Forest, NC. It was the nation's first death in 2008 of a communications worker falling from an elevated structure.
    ·April 14: A tower worker employed by Cornerstone Tower of Grand Island, Neb., fell to his death in Moorcroft, WY.
    ·April 15: A 38-year-old technician finished tightening the bolts on a guyed wireless tower in San Antonio, TX, "sort of lean[ed] back a little," according to witnesses, and fell 225 feet to his death.
    ·April 17: North Carolina suffered its second cell tower fatality in a week when a 46-year-old Chesapeake, VA, man fell from a communications antenna in Frisco, NC.
    ·April 23: A Griffin, GA, man died from extensive head and chest injuries after falling 100 feet from a communications tower near Natchez, MS. He was reportedly hanging boom gates to a Cell South antenna when he fell.
    ·May 16: Guilford was rappelling down a load line attached to a 200 foot monopole when he stopped abruptly 140 feet up and bounced as if on a bungee cord, disengaging the carabiner that was secured to the tower.
    At least three of the six accidents, Lekutis says, citing industry documents, occurred on AT&T projects.
