If you pee from that high up does it evaporate before it hits the ground? You just know someone's tried it before...

You would need someone standing on the ground, which I for one would not volunteer for.

I could be persuaded to try a job like that. My rate would be about $100,000 per hour, and it would take me about six days.

I suspect it happens a lot. I would probably pee my pants just stepping off the elevator halfway up. No thanks! Imagine how much that thing must be swaying.

That was WAY beyond sopinassnnl30n - I have no words. I'm still shaking, and my hands are sweaty.

^ That guy didn't even do a convincing pull up!

Absolutely nuts to do that at that height.

That's partly what makes it so hair-raising! I used to be a pull-up fiend, but these days not so much. Once you start losing the strength in your hands and arms, how you gonna pull yourself back into the truss? Huh? Did you ever think about THAT? DIDJA?

And you just know that beam he's holding on to is dusty, the diameter is too big to comfortably grasp, and his hands are sweating. That is certain death right there - I'm certain they photoshopped out his fall, because nobody can do that and live.

Let's hear it for the safety of our computer chairs! Hip hip...
