Working at high altitudes could be alot of fun and stuff but however I only fear for the supports. What if it breaks or the rope cuts?

As long as it's fun, u need not fear man. Just ensure ur life is insured and ur family gets the benefits. You only live once, remember?

And ur harness would hardly snap. They're not mere ropes. They re more likely to snap if you try to fart to relieve urself of anxiety

Skyscrapers window cleaners.




Window cleaners recruited to polish skyscrapers must have a head for heights along with a love ofwashing and buffing.

The high rise cleaners are often suspended hundreds of feet in the air, where they carry out their work from narrow platforms or swinging seats.

Thanks to an emphasis on safety training, deaths remain rare.

According to the International Window Cleaning Association, in the U.S. there was only one high-rise fatality per year from 2010 to 2014.

Omo, I watched this on national geography and was marveled

MEN at work. �

You won't see women doing sh!t like this.

Men are risking their lives in high altitudes to maintain cell towers so that everyone can have cellular and internet connection. Their work goes unappreciated almost all the time.

Women, on the other hand, will b!tch and whine at the slightest network disruption that prevents them from posting that duck faced, flower-filtered selfie...

Nice piece op! dis really shows d mindset and orientation of white folks. They r always passionate n proud of their jobs no matter how little or insignificant it may seem. Imagine someone going to such heights just to fix d thumb of a statue or clean a window. Nigerians would rather leave the windows to b 'naturally' cleaned by rain n they will going up n down crying unemployment because everyone wants to b a doctor or work in an office.

Would you ?

frosbel2:



??

Nigerians and blacks generally also do very high altitude Jobs, or who do you think build the skyscrappers in Nigeria, repairs telephone masts etc.

You black people are always too quick to put down your own race without a proper analysis of facts !!!

I swear, that's why I had to ask her if she would. They keep making useless reference to Nigerians and I am asking who exactly are the Nigerians. Be the change you want to see in the world

Cant even look from a storey building....

D pintures sef dey make m fear fear

Construction of empire State towers

Explorers:
Skyscraper construction worker.




Construction workers recruited to build skyscrapers must have the ability to carry out tasks hundreds of feet up.

In the early days of construction there were no hard hats or safety ropes and accidents were common place.

During the break neck construction of the Empire State Building in New York, five men died in accidents.

And continuing the incredible building boom of the early 20th century, it was said that crew foremen could expect one man to die for every $1million spent on a skyscraper.

Nowadays, strict safety regulations are in place to prevent fatalities from occurring as the buildings continue to get higher and higher.

The Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia measuring 3,307 feet high is currently under construction and it is set to be the tallest structure in the world when it is finished.

Geez! They even have the guts to sleep at that height?!

They are supposed to immortalize the names of these labourers.

How come History never apprieactes these commoners?!!

swagifted:
How about when neil Armstrong walked on the moon... I think thats the highest altitude

When he walked on the moon, his working height was 0. Height is irrelevant in space

Explorers, come kukuma kill me. Even my mama won't allow me do this kind work (trust our African mothers)

yet we wan develop reach white man level

tried climbing overhead bridge once and i nearly poo my pants from fear of that height level - i even shamelessly begged my gf then to hold my hand and help me complete the crossing - i never tried it again! never ever crossed the road thru that thing after that experience!

then talk more of working on such heights in those pics - i will just die ni!!

looking at the pictures ma makes my heart skip!

I nor do... I am too scared of heights

now the chair I'm sitting on feels so high.

Explorers:
Bridge painters.




They have to spend hours teetering hundreds of feet above the ground, ocean with a paint brush to hand.

During the recruitment process, they must pass aseries of tests to demonstrate their high altitude artistic capabilities.

Many fatalities involve falls, with some workers losing their balance or others victims of structural collapses.

Why not paint the different structures before they're mounted. [quote author=Explorers post=58885229].

[quote author=efembaba post=58889409]Astronauts working in space are d highest workers[/quote/]

You can't fall in space...you simply float eternally

Ordinary Dopemu bridge for Lagos you know Wetin my eye see before I could walk on it like a boss

It's LadyF again! you've been MIA for quite some time now. It's good to have you back

Even at that, they have to repaint in years like onces in 5yrs to keep glowing.

badbreathcure101:
Op forgot to add how much they are paid. Theses guys earn about the highest pay than any occupation on earth. In this life its not the hardest jobs that pays rather the most risky jobs that attracts lesser applicants.

We lost a family brother who was a mast engineer. He fell into a rod which inserted into his anus and came out through his chest...the death was so painful that they refused his mpther to see his body before burial.

So sorry abt that.

So mammie won't allow u 2 do such job op mammie dnt also fill d course u studied in school cuz u sound like a mammies boy..

No doubt the height of risk involved would also reflect in their pay
