Picture sets new 'NOPE!' record.

[Spear Dane]

Last Sept some really STOOPID fools did a really STOOOPID thing and got their pic taken. It is thought to be a new world record for both quality AND quantity of 'NOPE' in one act.

Ugh!

 

[HubertGummer]

Cant figure out how thwt thing is standing. Seems like it should just fall over.

Also, **** no.

So the soles of their boots (and one butt) are at 1099' AGL.

IIRC that's 99' higher than one or two of my jumps at the end of training at The Airborne School, and only 101' lower than a couple other jumps. Assuming the plane was flying exactly at the specified altitude.

Zounds.


Also: where's the photographer? Drone?

I have known ironworkers before. For many of those guys who work building the skyscrapers it seems as if they have had the fear gene removed from their body.

Nope, not a chance,....just looking at that pic makes my wiener hurt. (Don't know why that happens to me when I'm up on something really high.)

You should see the guy holding the camera

Pffft. Do it without harnesses and get back to me.

Although it "looks" real I'm not buying it. The guy suction cupped to the peak looks disproportionally too small. If it is real all I have to say is oh HELL no! If it's faked it appears to be a pretty decent fake.

Just looking at the picture makes me woozy. Heights just aren't my thing.

I know you posted in purple, but my minor OCD must point out the guy on the right has his lanyard hooked to his front. The end that would be attached to the building.

Distorted perspective from the fish eye lens.

Making sure no misunderstanding about my feelings

Hell yeah, looks like fun! (I use to climb antenna towers for a living) It would be a hell of a view. The highest I have climbed is around 800ft. The craziest thing I have done isn't quiet that crazy. But I have stood on a the very top section at about 180ft. Don't look straight up. If you do and there are clouds you will feel the sensation like falling over.

Why are you calling these guys stupid? They do this for a living.

Dang, you're right.

Falling doesn't scare me, it's the landing that sucks.

 

[actaeon277]

Dang, you're right.

It has been known to happen from time to time.

As long as it's high enough, it's over fast.
