I saw a gantry crane last summer, I actually climbed it (84 meters high) but I
did not feel like climbing all the way down again so I jumped (!) off it!
Here's the crane:

I have some videos and photos of the jump but that was on my old domain
(arnesson.nu) and that is inactive now. I might try to reproduce the crane in
LEGO some day.
And I would not hesitate to jump again, wildest experience so far in my life.
Even beats parachuting 'cause you realize the ground is for real. Someday I'll
go to Queenstown NZ and top it! :)
Best regards,
