Pretty True.

My dad painted this one when I was maybe 4 or 5. I can remember thinking how crazy and bad ass the paint crew was, but even in 89-90 they all had safety harnesses.

When I was a teenager it was "cool" to sneak into the fenced off perimeter and walk from MO to IL. Pretty scary back then. The Mississippi is pretty wide down there.

From the antenna climbing video about 2 minutes in.

"this is called free climbing, meaning that no safety lines are used. Its easier, faster, and most tower workers climb this way."

so yeah, fuck that shit.
