The most dangerous job in the world

[Fluxy]

My friend showed me this video, and I swear, this is just crazy how dangerous it is. More dangerous than all that rough fishing game for sure.

I would never be able to do that. I would probably just faint on the elevator trip up, and not even past half way. Lol

I assume the same guy showed it to Milkyway, since he showed it to me recently. I felt lightheaded just watching the video.

I doubt it, seeing as it was a friend that lives out here in Cali and doesn't go onto any forums or anything at all. Lol. But I know, right? I felt he was actually going to fall, even though I knew they wouldn't post a video where the guy falls.

[Xortberg]

Maybe it's just become a popular video then. Either way, yeah, it was scary as hell to watch. I don't understand how we don't have more people plummeting to their deaths every day. Shit was intensely high.

Seventeen-hundred something. Just.... I wish to have the balance they have with all the head winds, and just height anxiety they have to deal with. I mean, just wow... They have courage.

Maybe not the most dangerous, but sure as hell the scariest I've ever seen. When they reached the top, that's what would scare me the most. Mostly because he was looking down to the ground. In that situation I would probably faint, and then plummet to the ground below.

How is it not the most dangerous? Lol. I am just curious as to what you think is more dangerous. I mean, one small slip, and you are dead. No chance at surviving at all. Lol

Well there's mining and timber cutting. Hundreds die each year from both jobs, although this one unlike the others scares the crap out of me.

I see your point there, but in those jobs, you can do something most of the time to get away from what happened, or get rescued somehow. Like in the recent mine collapsing. [Can't remember where it was, but it was all over the news]

That, I believe all of us can agree on. Lol

[Milkyway64]

Dude's got some serious balls. I said something much the same to Xort about not even making it past the elevator ride.

[CrypticQuery]

:shock: .......What does the job application/description for this look like?

Either way, it would scare the living hell out of me O_o

[eman96]

Even watching that video was still very scary .

[Sabre]

Scary? Maybe. But I can't imagine it being the most dangerous in terms of deaths/injuries.

Taking percentage of death, yes, this one doesnt't kill as many people I would assume. But, it has the highest risk of death compared to others.

Probably only one question: "Are you willing to die because you sneezed?" xD Lolz.

What a view! Nothing but the wind blowing in your ears and at that height you'd have to shout for anyone to hear you.  The highest point I've been at outside is 1,135 feet and the wind is so strong that on a windy day in general it's difficult to maintain your balance while standing.  So obviously being over 700 feet higher while holding on to a ladder would be even more challenging for these people - I'm sure they are paid extremely well though.

I would never be able to do that. I would probably just faint on the elevator trip up, and not even past half way. Lol

I wonder how fast the elevator goes.

There's also a heck of a lot more people doing mining and timber cutting though and in more developed nations the risk of death is considerably lower than it is in places like Chile with that whole miner scenario that gripped worldwide news.  The sad thing is though, since that whole thing passed there were no improvements made to safety.  Also, as mentioned already, I'm very sure the % of death that would occur in mining and timber falls short of deaths by this nature. 

I see your point there, but in those jobs, you can do something most of the time to get away from what happened, or get rescued somehow.

While this is true and you won't be dead, odds are you'll be at least someone hurt, or poisoned, or whatever.  My grandfather used to work in the industry decades ago and it was quite hazardous.

That was in Chile.

Oh, most definitely. My point was is that you simply wouldn't end up dead. Or, as Miracle Max might say, "He's only mostly dead!" xD

That was in Chile. 

There we go! ^^;;

ive seen some oft hose! i saw one where to USAF personel had to row in a canoe trough like a...waste diposal area at an Airport to "clean" it; they had to make sure they didnt fal out or they would rwon and mostly like drown becasue there wasnt any oxygen or something in the waste water or something.....

The risk of death is very low compared to, say, the front-line military. If you live you're just lucky.

Have to agree here, I was even about to say that lol.  But yeah, while that's super dangerous and you'd have to be crazy(Or Bri) to apply, front line military is just more dangerous
