It was recently available at http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81100181/ Maybe it is still up there. From what I have read, this guy is nuts - he was free-climbing - with no safety equipment.

If you want to know why these sites are being taken down, read the information at http://www.theonlineengineer.org/TheOLEBLOG/ Sounds like it wasn't a copyright issue, the guy [who is nuts to do this] suddenly realized that most everyone who saw it, including his clients, would realize he really is nuts, to the detriment of their liability coverage. I hope any hams who have seen this, and particularly young hams [come on guys, admit it, you're bulletproof and immortal, I was], realize that climbing a tower of any sort or even getting on the roof is an inherently dangerous activity. We all want you around and on the air, not just another young statistic. Safety equipment, providing it is properly maintained and inspected can improve the safety significantly, but there's a reason the military [and utilities] send people who will be climbing poles and towers to a safety school too. It's more than just equipment. This guy is stupid and insane, I'm glad they took it down, although things go viral so fast these days it may be hard. In college, in the late 50's/early 60's, I worked at the local TV station. CE offered me $50 to climb the 500' tower twice a year and do the mandatory FAA clearance light replacement. No elevator and I was 20 years old. I climbed in full harness, inside the tower, with a short-rope on the climbing brake on the cable down the middle of the tower. Some guy came every six months and inspected the harness and all the safety equipment. It was still dangerous, but $50 to a starving student in those days let me fix the brakes on my old truck which probably contributed a lot to my safety too. :-) I wouldn't have considered it without all the safety gear, and my CE was there and made sure I used it all. Thanks Charlie! This is s stupid, we want all our comrades alive and on the air, hopefully a few with K2s and KX1s from yet-to-be-activated summits. Please, everyone, don't ever think this guy has any brains at all. 73, Fred K6DGW __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I still get a little rush every time I climb my 50' tower. This video gives me that same feeling.
