To the Under 40s guys: Would you try this "Jacob's Ladder"?

Joe Biden could do them steps with no problem. Lol

That would be a mean slinky run.

In My younger days I used to climb cell phone and radio transmitting Towers just for fun.

Did a couple dozen of them but now with knees and ankles that suddenly give out unexpectedly, and now that I've had a couple of incidents of unexplained muscle spasms in my legs without even working hard ...no thank you!

I'd do it, you pay for the round trip flight

I hurt myself last week putting on my underwear. My days of stupid stunts are iver

Last month I hurt myself while I was sleeping !

How is that even possible to get hurt while your not even awake ?

The difference between climbing a modern well-built cellphone\transmitter tower and this rickety staircase of death is monumental. One is built with exacting standards, good materials, code, and engineering that all but guarantees that the tower won't *randomly* explode out from under you. The other is built from some random yahoo with unknown materials, no codes, or anything resembling a plan. The fear isn't in climbing up or down; but slipping and falling to your death because of a random breakage or slip.



With that said;

I've wheelied motorcycles, jumped out of planes, fly planes, and even did emergency landings. I would never go down NOR UP these stairs. Screw that.
