Heights terrify me and yet it is funny that inside a plane or say a capsule there is little fear at such a height but drop to say 2,000 feet and the inborn phobia explodes. I so admire these men.

[@merc340sr]

What stops it falling sideways? Long way down!

[@Vilizio]

They are called “tie-ins” typically 3 long tubes of steel that connect the crane to the core of the building. Keeps the crane steady at taller heights

Don't know what you are talking about, seen many women operate cranes here on youtube and specially in Israel.

Woman can totally operate crane... as long as they don't mind squatting over a bottle.
