Interesting, I came across that on a car forum last night.

Talk about adrenaline junkies......I stuggle with a 12 foot ladder!!!

There was a huge thread about Fred Dibnah a few years ago. The man fascinates me I could watch clips of him all day. Best thing about him is that no matter the danger he's in he never swears I'd make a sailor blush even if I had the balls to do that. That transmitter clip gave me ballsuck IYKWIM incredible I'm sure they're very well paid.

Seen a program about these lads in helicopters changing conductors on pylons leaning out of a helicopter. Have to connect themselves to cable to earth first then do the job while the pilot hovers inches from the lines. Some skill

those 500m ones are nuts

Anyone who climbs that should be given a knighthood. And a parachute!
