I feel sick after I watched it all the way. Yeah I agree what wildhunt's quote was.
You are cat.....you could get up there just fine.....but you wouldn't be able to get down....

You know, I used to climb a lot trees when I was a teen. I mean these big Maple trees in our front yard. I'm up climbing over limb after limb til I'm like 30 feet from the top and I'm like 70 feet off the ground. I could see Stone Mountain from where I was at. I get giddy whenever I get a chance to visit a fire watch tower up to 120 feet off of the ground.
That made me queasy....dang. Wonder why it took 2 guys? If it were me, I think I'd rather be the first one.....just in case, yanno?
Yeah, but they get up there easy.
Being a fighter is a big key. Attitude helps alot. I haven't had a big vertigo attack since 2005 or maybe 2006 (knock on wood). I have what I describe as micro attacks.... A random one or two second loss of balance..... I have several of those daily. I do get major headaches and I have horrible Tinnitus it's like a really bad concert 24/7.
MY story BTW

Energy of falling object
Here, have fun with this one.
The tower is 528 meters high.
An anvil dropped would be from 2 meters high (a little over 6 feet).
An anvil weighs 10 pounds or 4.5 kg.
A bolt, let's assume it weighs 250 grams (about 1/8th of a pound) for a good sized bolt.
You'll see the kinetic energy at the end of the drop would be much higher with the bolt than an anvil dropped from 2 meters high onto your head which would be traveling at a velocity of about about 6 m/s versus 101 m/s (but lower if you assume air friction will have an affect...it does) for a bolt. A bolt would have a kinetic energy that's 14 times larger than that of the anvil.
I watched it all the way through, but was very nervous. I am so afraid of heights, that I can't even go to the top of a set of bleachers in the high school gym.
