It looks dangerous, but I bet if you found a statistics page on the job, there is probably a very rare occurrence of death. I know I have never personally seen a news story on the nightly news about a tower worker falling to their death.

By definition, when you are going to do this, you are going to die.

Just jump off once you get to the top.

I'd get to the top and realize I had to take a dump. Look out below!

Granted this is a few years old... I think we've had more people die or get seriously inured climbing inside wind turbines, and that's just in the company I worked for. The funny thing is, they're required to be 100% tethered at all times.

Yeah, but that's a ratio. Only 10 deaths per year is a pretty good statistic I think. Of course it's going to look more dangerous with a job that has such a limited number of people.
