Yeah I don't think I would want this job. But I imagine the pay must be good. This is in Houston, Texas.

Once you exceed 60’ or so, it really doesn’t matter how high you climb. The result from taking one wrong step will be about the same (just a little messier).

At least from 60 feet you don’t have as much time to think about it, as you are rocketing toward the ground. lol

Wonder if other cities are hiring for this. I’ve been looking for a deadly job.

After watching him climb up, up, up, and looking at the ground at airplane height, the announcer says “From here, it’s just another sixty feet to the top.” Dang!

How do they assemble those? There’s no crane that’ll reach that high.

Not sure its the deadliest job on Earth (how many have died doing that?) ... but it certainly takes some big brass cojones.

Statistically speaking, POTUS is the most dangerous job in the world. One in 11 men (4 of 44) have been killed at work, and four more have died in office for a total of eight in 44 not surviving the job...in other words, a job with a mortality rate of over 18%.
