    Elio de Angelis, 1984 I think - 2 years before he was killed in testing at Paul Ricard. Looks like hes on the old Brazil circuit here.

    I bet you like Jar Jar Binks too, you monster :pac:


    The guy is still looks to be standing on the cables in the black and white photo, so he mustn't have had any problems with heights or balance. I don't really have problems with heights, but seeing photos of workers on older large projects like that make me wonder how long it took them to get used to the heights/wind/etc. without being a dizzy, snivelling mess.

    Edit: This guy is cleaning the Burj Khalifa...
