I got butterflies in my stomach just watching it.

The one thing I will say for the work, those guys must be in good shape to climb a 15 story ladder.
That's what I thought, but those guys must be pretty good at or the insurance companies wouldn't allow it.

Parachuting would be tough...you would need to jump with the wind and be in control to avoid impacting the tower on the way down. Odds are if you fall you won't have enough control or be able to get under control fast enough...those towers get wider on the way down. Plus chutes are heavy.

I'd use my safety line.
