A "NOMAD" who worked the most dangerous job in the world insists it was worth it for the huge pay cheque & despite the huge risk of plunging to his death. Brandyn Wood scaled huge 1200ft structures to fix internet and data towers and change lightbulbs to fund his dream of travelling the globe. The 33-year-old Floridian used to be a tower climber - a perilous career choice which claims hundreds of lives per year.
He would the towers that made “internet connection and phone calls possible.” Stomach-churning images show the dare-devil donning dark shades as he hangs in a harness hundreds of feet high and stands atop a tower giving a thumbs-up. Brandyn has previously witnessed terrifying accidents and faced extreme weather conditions but, now, he can now kick back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of his labour.
He told The Sun of a friend who lost 60 per cent function in his arm after his rope snapped and he fell from a height, severing his arm as he landed on a glass of water. Brandyn said: "I was there and I had to do the report on it. We bandaged it up to stop the bleeding.
We took him straight to the hospital. He added: "When I was in one of our worst years we had, I believe, 18 or more people that had fallen and died and we could average anywhere between 4 - 12 per year." And it wasn’t just the task in hand that posed a threat to the climbers as the elements were also against them.
Brandyn recalled one of his near misses where a huge tornado was approaching while he was su.
