Not really.
Falling 50 feet doesn't give you much time to think or act.
Falling 1000 feet gives you time to make things right with your Maker, then sit back and watch the movie. You know... that movie you're supposed to watch right before you die.

I like it.
You built it, you must trust it.
The only problem I see is leaving the drill in a precarious position.
Tools are expensive.
Just tell me that you didn't plug that track into a recep.

At least those guys are wearing what looks like fall protection. Granted to OP didn't have anything to tie off too. Can't really go up to the HO and ask to twist a one-eye bolt into the engineered wood cieling or support beam.

I just don't see why you wouldn't lean an extension ladder against the beam. It would fit from the stairs to the beam.

Somehow I doubt his insurance guy is prowling the internet electrical forums looking for pics of his clients risking their necks.

That may have been doable but it would be a bear to wedge the ladder in exactly the right position and have it be out of the way enough to work.

It looks like the camera is straight down because it IS looking straight down.
The men are wearing fall protection.
It's an antenna on top of a building.

The way I see it, the picture was taken from the top looking straight down. The two men are on the side of the tower. Might be wrong but that's what my eyes are telling me.

personally, I would love to get paid to change that light.
Wired a roller coaster a couple years ago, and did lots of the high work. Good times
Have you seen the helicopter lineman video? Guy that says he is only afraid of electricity, heights, and women. Married too!

Check out the bald guy in this video. He looks an awful lot like the guy on the right shown in the picture.
