He probably likes to climb to the top of the big turbine towers, freefall and grab onto a moving blade, and then see how long he can hold on in a 40mph wind.  Then parachute to the ground after he gets bored.

That guy is either really BRAVE or really DUMB!  Amazing the things people do... and survive!  I guess I've done some dumb things too in life, but not quite that daring.  Now that I've got a wife and 7 children that somewhat depend on me, I've turned into a real weenie.  No more Evel Knievel stunts for me! :)

That is too tall for my tastes too!  I once rented a Genie 34ft boom lift, and when I had it fully extended out in the open, it gave me butterflies in the stomach.  After using it on a project for a couple days, I got used to it.  I don't know if I could get used to 1100ft like on that video!

yeah but did you listen to the audio the guy with the camera was shaking it on purpose to show you how much it sways ;D ;D Here is a couple pictures the one looking at the car is from 80ft and the one looking out over the landscape is from 100ft on my ham radio tower. I think it is going to grow to 160ft this summer ::).

If you look close in this one you can see a red wind turbine with no blades this is my neighbors 17ft turbine we talk about here it is on a 80ft tilt up tower and we where using the body of it for weight to test the tower and winch.

And here is a picture of my 10 foot machine it is on a 75ft tilt up tower. I was around 70ft on my radio tower for this one.

Ryan,

You do better at heights than I do!  With all those trees, I can see why you need to go up so high to get your turbines over the tree tops.
