The guys on that video were at least somewhat protected inside the tube.
Some years back, they erected a 964' lattice type tower in sections
using a Sikorsky Sky Crane in Cincinnati.

Our offices were about a half mile away and at times we could watch the
contruction. I cannot imagine being up on that partially built tower
depending on a helicopter to hold it steady while they bolted the
sections together! One little shift in the wind.....

Wow!!!!! Whatever they are making on this job, it ain't enough!..(the guy’s
in the tube)! Wonder how a 40 or 80 M 3 el would do at this height?
Big congrats to the pilot, but I sure would not want to be the guy’s inside the
pipe.
Just another day at the office.
