When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

I've done that but with the gangway lowered.  High seas and scary as hell.  I used to work for an inspection company in Freeport, TX.

Ha! I used to live in Freeport! And I worked offshore in tropical storms. I didn't do what is featured on those gifs.....but I did have to climb the derrick about six times in one day in order to keep fixing a geolograph line that kept breaking and coming loose! And I had to go all the way up to the crown!

I had to climb up the derrick to the monkey board and that's where the Safety Belt ENDED! So I had to climb the rest of the sixty feet or so up to the top just by hanging on to the steel ladder...in a shrieking downpour with 65 mph winds!

When you're way up in that derrick you're about 300 feet off the surface of the ocean! And then I had to climb through the derrick and walk around on the girts while I fixed my little steel line!

All the superintendents were watching me out of their office windows!
