I used to climb antennas for a living, we considered anything over 50' is a death fall...going higher just gives you more time to think about it on the way down. That image looks like duder is over 1,000', probably good bit higher than that. I think the tallest antenna tower is 2,100 feet, somewhere in the midwest, South Dakota or Nebraska, can't remember.

I think the WRAL tower in Raleigh is 1800. It has a 2m repeater that has a humongous footprint. I have hit it a few times from Winston.

I used to climb towers, and we joked that the difference between 100' and 200' was open casket/closed casket. I just did a rope rescue course at work for ERT, and the instructor said I was the only guy he'd heard tell that joke outside the training community. On another note, I was a bit surprised that we didn't use any dummies for the course. We all got to take turns being the patient for packaging and raising/lowering. It was a bit nerve wracking getting lowered off this stairway in the basket and trusting a bunch of new recruits to get everything right.

We did a rope rescue course when I was still climbing and did the same thing. They liked to have me be the dummy, I would get to spinning and have the ropes all kinds of twisted just for some extra fun.

Back in my young and dumb days I built power line and we once had to attend a two day safety school. One of the things was resucing your pole buddy if he was incapaciated for some reason. My pole buddy was somewhat larger than I and he had no trouble getting me astraddle his safety belt and walking down the pole with me playing dead to the world. We climbed back up the pole, a 45 footer, and I rassed him onto my safety belt and he broke playing dead long enough to tell me if I dropped him he was going to kill me after he got out of the hospital. No problem, we made it to the ground just fine.

I had a box of Chicken in a Biscuit crackers a couple months ago, first time in years...I really missed them, but they don't seem to have as much flavor as what I remember.
