Greg,

It was a mis-quote per Kling. The ladder was for people to get into the
topload then the coil would be fired (Modeled after your Electrum
http://www.lod-dot-org/electrum/electrumpics.html).

BTW-The pole pig Kling uses is the one I rebuilt and sold to him

Brian B.

 From LA Times Magazine, January 6 2002:

"At the 1998 installment of... Burning Man, Klinge marvelled at the 
fireworks produced by a 17-foot-tall coil sculpture and knew he had to 
build his own. In 1998, he completed a 7-foot-tall, 5,500-watt unit 
generating 6-foot-long arcs. He has appeared with his creation at parties 
and festivals such as the Electric Daisy Carnival rave event.... He's also 
collaborating with Tesla coil performance artist Austin Richards of Santa 
Barbara (a.k.a. "Dr. MegaVolt") on a two-story, 120,000-watt sculpture 
equipped with a ladder for people to ascend while the coil is firing."

Wouldn't the last part - hopefully a misquote - be a serious misreading of 
Faraday's law?
Sooner or later someone's going to bug-zap a raver.
