Just a thought........................

IF he fell, there would just be a little red stain on the ground, and the drop in pressure in the head would kill him/make him black out before he hit the deck, would'nt it??

So.......St Peter would know about it before he did!!


Would there be much difference in atmospheric pressure between 1800 feet and sea level Six?

Sudden rise in blood pressure/respiration rate may have some effect on consciousness perhaps. :-/

Done the Eiffel Tower, Empire State in New York & Sears Tower in Chicago, no probs but that "pole" no way.

Interestingly don't see the point in those guys wearing hard hats - wont help if they fell off from the top  :-/
Hard hat - trust me, it bloody smarts if you catch your scon on a step whilst climbing poles. So, yes, no help if you fall, but still useful ;)

Only about 40 mmHG differential; but boiling a kettle for a comforting cuppa would take longer at the bottom than from where he fell! ;D
