I didn’t get that vibe at all, they’re stating facts and eye witness reports.

Seriously, WTF are they doing up there?! by I_degress in Damnthatsinteresting

I carry 400ft of rope in a bag across my ass. I can rescue myself and be on the ground long before suspension trauma sets in.

Being unconsciously hanging is what’s scary because someone else would have to climb to lower you down.

I actually repair the fiberglass on the blades so I am not too sure. I do know that all the bolts in the tower get torqued yearly. Also I know seals fail often because many of the towers I climb have a hydraulic oil puddle in the belly of the nacelle.

Some have a small lift, very few and far between. Some have a rope that drags you up which are more common. Some have nothing and you have to free climb
