stuck on a radio tower in a thunderstorm🪶

[brandonbullins]

I got into a lot of trouble when i was 15 after me and a friend scaled a 400ft radio tower. It had platforms middle way up and a platform at the top. We had to climb a 10ft fence with barbed wire at the top to even get to the tower. It was owned by AT&T and im guessing they had motion sensors but this was back in the 90s. Cops showed up when we were half way up and it was in the middle of the night around 2am. We figured we were already in trouble so we climbed the last 200ft while the cops watched. Then imbed down and was immediately arrested and parents called. Didnt get charged with anything but i lost my Super nintendo for a year and got my ass beat with a belt lol

I was imagining jumping off that tower and parachuting down. Then, dude did it!

[icratori]

I’m a tower technician and this is what I live for. 🤙 be careful brother plan your jumps and windage

[ReddeadMoses]

I thought he just committed death on camera 😵

[tailtap]

How did you not swing back into the mountain like all those jumpers do in those other videos?

[johnhabeck]

He got caught in a time loop of sorts, and his life keeps replaying, over and over...

[steventaylor]

Do you study the tower first to see how strong the radio waves or micro waves it puts out? I've heard above 500 watts it can get dangerous 😳

[BrhatLee]

Climbed towers for the big-M and never had a chute, had to ride the storm out.

[firedogman]

Never climb a AM tower, that will probably kill you from the electricity alone

[Palladion]

Always wondered how people never get caught

[garyanddoris]

Im not a tower climber, but im a retired welder over 35 years and i use to weld the ring plates up inside of silos that were high as 320 feet high, we'd have to climb up a ladder inside mounted to the concrete wall and go all the way up through a square hole and mount our ropes and rigging on top so our welding leads could be tied off where we were on scaffolding, we walked around in a circle on 2x10 welding the ring plates up, we welded our own lugs to the plates where our safery harness would snap in, had to be tied off a hundred percent, if you think a silo three feet thick of concrete over three hundred feet high wouldn't sway think again, youd be on top and that thing felt like it moved fifteen feet everytime it swayed ....I couldn't imagine how far these towers would sway ...

[ruledontgosplat]

That’s the only way i would work on a tower like that. Long climb, fun ride down.

[turkeywhitetailsmith]

Any tower climber. Sees a storm. They immediately climb down

[nikd]

Круто! 👍 Но если я там бы был под грозой мне было бы страшно.😮

[MichiganGenetics]

Another thing doesn't it hurt when the parachute first opens? Like I've seen people fall with safety harness on, and the results were ugly af!!!

[Landscaping]

I thought he was doing suicide for a second

[genevamoore]

I bet your poor mother has nightmares, what happens if your chute doesnt open have you thought how your mother will feel? I really wish yall could think about that sometimes instead of getting a rush off the death defying stunts yall do. Thats how i feel and im a mother.

[Bra-den]

I don't know why YouTube gives videos of places I recognize.

This is Floyds knobs?

[robertmitchell]

Man that's a pretty hard snatch when that parachute opens up! Damn!

[dfdemt]

Dude isn’t but a few hundred feet up from the looks of it. Lucky that the chute had time to deploy properly.
