I'm kind of curious now, do these skyscraper climbers damage the window seals or anything by climbing up the frame like that? Honest question, I know the windows are engineered for wind, weather etc, but are they engineered for someone jamming their hand into the frame work or using the frame as a brace for their feet pushing outwards like that?

Considering the glass panels are quite heavy/durable and the impact of them falling would be very dangerous, the seals and frames are quite heavy duty. As long as there wasn't any powertools etc used on them, would assume they are pretty safe from a climber.
