  • Where do I sign up? Looks like fun!

    A healthy fear of what can kill you (Electricity, Heights and Women) makes you wary of the dangers and more likely to survive.

  • Thanks for sharing this video. It's pretty amazing to think about the number of diverse jobs that an "electrical worker" actually may do! Flying to work in a helicopter and climbing on hot 500kV lines? God bless this guy and others like him.

  • I watched some guys doing this from the ground, to see it up close........the hairs on my arms are still standing up!!! Those helos have tiny high rpm rotors, with a sound like a lawn mower on nitro. God bless and protect those guys!

    Thank you Mike,

  • For this man Churchill said it best, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself", but there is not enough money in the world to have me do this job. I can't stand heights, I respect electricity, and fear my wife, but now I understand why my electric bill is as high as it is!
