No, he was not skating on an antenna. What they mean is, he beat the rap the first time around. In that sense he "skated."

Canadian who skated on toppling 1,100 foot tower is now charged with murder

In Featured News by Wireless Estimator June 4, 2018

A 75-year-old Canadian man who was found guilty of collapsing an 1,100-foot Bell Canada guyed tower in Ottawa in 1987 and had his conviction stayed by Canada’s Supreme Court, is expected to plead not guilty today to a more serious charge – murder.

Last Thursday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrested James “Jimmy” Wise and charged him with first-degree murder in the death of a 59-year-old Ontario man, Raymond Collison, who disappeared in 2009.

But the long strange history of Wise being an alleged killer goes back to Aug. 15, 1987 when he toppled the tower.

OPP officers were then investigating Wise as a murder suspect in a string of five murders in Ottawa Valley where he lived, and obtained a warrant to search his home and vehicle, but had found nothing to link him to any of the homicides.

of you going "Whaaaa?" and going in.
