1. No no no no no no no no no!!!!!!!

Wow...seriously WOW! Good for them. That video had my legs twitching and my stomach turning the whole time. I'm not scared of heights by any means, but this is a whole different ball game.
Every time the dude latched his safety harness I would breathe a sigh of relief, then when he unhooked it...stopped breathing again.
I bet the get some serious coin for that gig!

edited to add - even though the announcer said there is no quick way down, I wonder if they have some kind of parachute just in case? Or is that a stupid question.

2. I dunno.

I don't know how you could even use a parachute so close to the tower.

3. I watched this the other day... i don't have that kind of courage.

Glad there are others out there who do, but you could almost not pay me enough...

However, someone offering me a 7-figure sum (before the decimal) might just get me to reconsider!
