Changing a light bulb

I don’t have vertigo. Or do I?

I am FINE with any sort of height, as long as I am attached to something secure. Equally, I am fine with looking at anyone else at any sort of height, as long as they are attached to something secure.

Remove the harness or the rope or whatever from this equation, and I am an instant mess.
Even if it is just a few metres. And while I can generally get my act together with a bit of clear thought and pure logic, it’s not a pleasant experience.

Still, harnesses abound below, and so I am fine with this video* (and I actually found it pretty interesting):

I do wonder what the idea of the helmets was at (famously) 123m up, but I suppose that any safety gear is better than none. But amazing to see a (seemingly) ordinary guy doing an extraordinary job.
