[TowerTalk] And we wonder why people fall and die...

[xdavid at cis-broadband.com]

If you carefully stop the video at the right spot ... just before the top guys disappear at the bottom of the picture ... you can see the guy terminations on each leg of the tower.  Just because the tower has the guys in the right place doesn't mean the climber isn't a total idiot, though.  He doesn't look young enough to claim that as an excuse and he looks more or less sober, so the only conclusion seems to be that he has the IQ of pigeon droppings.

The video is pretty poor quality, but looking at the angles I sure does 
appear as if the top ones all tie to the leg on the right side. On top 
of that it appears to be the old "American Steel" which IIRC is 16" 
between the rungs. So it would appear the tower is about 50'-60'

I see they've cut off remarks for that video.
