When I was 18 I worked on the oil rigs and I was terrified of heights. I became a derrickhand and my first time up I froze about 40 feet up for about 2 minutes. It was icy as hell but I forced myself up. It got easier and easier every time, now I am not as scared of heights.

You could. I am horribly afraid of heights but had to help build a 2 story steel structure for a guy with shoddy scissor lifts, and cut-corners practices. At first, I was terrified. After a while i was comfortable hanging out of them. I know, only 20 ft, but i guess it's more scary not being able to pay the bills. I am also terrified of spiders, but when I worked in plumbing, you had to crawl around and work around black widows often. Same thing. Oh, and for only $20 an hour. A million? Yeah, you'd find a way.

It's the smaller heights that scare me anyway. I stepped onto the landing gear of a little Cessna doing 80mph at 10,000 feet a couple times and it didn't bother me. Climbing a ladder onto a roof on the other hand, I don't like it at all. Falling off a ladder your just going to get crippled most likely. 55' ain't no joke however. I think I heard somewhere that falling 35' you have a 1 in 3 chance of it being fatal.

I had a chance to operate tower cranes a few years ago but decided to stick with mobile cranes and am totally glad that I did. I'm just like this guy, scared of heights and wouldn't dare attempt to climb up all those steps to get to work. I'm sure the money is great but I am good just where I am....😊

@@alexapuerta Well more or less: yes. Professional grade camera's have numerous settings to provide safety's in their viewfinder that take station-banners (like this one) into account, so a camera-operator knows which part of the image should be kept inside the safety-area to avoid people at home being unable to see them. Either the camera-operator forgot to turn his safety on or was scared of heights and thus forgot to notice such basic things like keeping the image in safety.

@@alexapuerta Nope. The camera-operator has an outlined area in his viewfinder that either shows the lower third like in this instance as a dotted line, or even a greyed-out area of what he or she is shooting, while the rest of the image in the viewfinder is clear as normal. The banner is (ofcourse) added at that station (although camera-built-in basic formatting of the banner is ever more common and possible), but the camera-operator has to take that lower-third into account. This one clearly forgot that last part.

It's mostly in the legs- arms are just to keep you upright in the climb. The truth is however that climbing vertical ladders is less annoying than staircases. With each rung of a ladder you gain so much height, my old crane was 40m/ about 7 storey above ground when we started the project. took about a minute and a half leisurely climb to get into the cab
