Something for you to consider while you are up there: atkielski.com "...Unfortunately, the tower?s romantic appeal seems to attract depressed and suicidal individuals almost as well as it attracts tourists and young lovers. Nearly four hundred people have jumped from the tower, or fallen (sometimes it?s hard to tell the difference). Most incorrectly estimate their trajectory and hit the tower during the fall, since it becomes wider as you approach the base. They usually end up stuck on the iron frame of the tower, and must be removed?often in pieces?by firefighters. (Parisian firefighters serving the Eiffel Tower must regularly climb the tower by hand in order to practice for this type of rescue, in fact.) Survivors can be counted on one hand." See you at the top! :)
