Indeed...

My Dad was a life-long electrician for General Motors in California.
It a scary part of his job to climb up the old water and radio towers
to change the (flashing red light) bulbs that warn low flying aircraft.

Things were not nearly as safety-minded 50+ years ago, and he would
start dreading the work the week before he had to climb again.
But, he lived unharmed all the way to his retirement in the 60's.
