“My dad won’t let a crippling fear of heights keep him from peering over the edge. Well maybe.“

  3. I have flown everywhere, suffered one copter crash, even jumped out of 2 perfectly good airplanes, but I ain’t ever gotten over my fear of walking on those clear acrylic plastic or glass overhangs. I feel for him here.

    At least he’s working on it – I know people who won’t go in a two-story building.

  4. Fear of heights is kind of a funny thing. I’ve flown small prop planes before (Cessna’s) parachuted, bungee jumped, gone passenger in gliders and some other height related activities but crossing a large, lengthy bridge or doing what the Dad is doing on the video would cripple me. Hell, I’d be inching toward the cliffside while my frontal brain is telling me everything is fine while my backbrain (the reptile part) is screaming “FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I’M GOING TO FALL FUCK….” and then I’d freeze. Kudos to Dad for getting to the edge.

  6. But I’m not Mr. Heights Tough Guy either. Those videos of guys climbing radio towers free hand to change bulbs…watching those I can strip small gauge wire with my butthole.

  8. OK look. I think I would walk to about 2 feet from the edge and then crouch down to look.
    It’s probably windy as shit over there! lol. Also, I would strap my phone to my hand, hold it over the side and use the picture burst setting. 😀

  9. My bravest moments? I broke up 2 dog fights. I broke up a 4 way dog fight. Got bit on the palm and forearm.
    Broke up a 3 dog fight, the dog clamped on my hand and when I stood up, the dog was still dangling off it. LOL!
    But- Can I walk by the plexiglass walls inside a mall on the 2nd and 3rd floors? Fuck no!
    Oh well.

  11. I am terrified of heights and got scared just watching. I will not go near a cliff or building edge.
    On the plus side, spiders and snakes don’t bother me except when my cat eats them and throws up.

  13. Grool–I don’t think he flew, his daughter talks about how many meters he needs to go and also says something about getting there on the ferry.
    Good for him for trying but I am amazed at how clean his clothes looked afterwards and no rips!

  16. I got no problem being in a controlled height like a plane or a glass enclosed wall with an intensely high view. But out in the open near a sheer ledge with even a slight breeze will freak me out. Pictures of old-timey skyscraper builders makes my hands sweat.

  18. I’m like a few others here.

    I could put down here all the things that seem to be at odds with my fear of falling, Like my desire to fly a plane, parachute, enjoy the view from the top of a skyscraper, etc., but I think it boils down to if I perceive if I am secure. Trust. Am I on that 3 story ladder with or without a firmly secured harness? Two different worlds.

    Give me a harness or some other contraption I can put my trust in and my anxiety drops to near zero. While I might go parachuting that same afternoon, I would fear being at the edge of that cliff – sudden inexplicable gust of wind anyone? How about the chance someone decides to see if they can get away with murder by “accidentally” bumping you over the edge?

    I have had more than one instance where someone tried something like that. A couple of times with with passing traffic and once plugging in machinery that had cutting blades while I was working on it. “Oops, sorry”, my ass.

  21. A few years ago I got to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It’s WAY up there….
    The platform floor was made of sheet steel (diamond plate). In one spot it was bowed upward and would snap down abruptly with a loud “THUD” if a person walked across it. I purposely stood in the way to force unsuspecting tourists to step on it as they walked by while peering over the railing. You should have heard the shrieks…and those were from the men!

  23. Having to ride as a passenger in the mountains, or in that stupid bus by the Grand Canyon, when someone else is driving sucks for me. If I’m driving, it’s okay.

  28. Everyone here who is afraid of heights and of falling: this is a fear that is absolutely normal in human beings. One of the few fears that has no basis in neurosis or psychosis. In fact, to have utterly no fear of falling from even a modest height is antithetical to surviving long enough to make progeny. You men know all about this.

    I do love to fly, though.

  33. Bad Brad, wierd thing is I used to drive the skyway into Chicago thinking “whee, I’m flying” from the time I was a punk until I got pregnant with our first child. While I was pregnant, a whole family my family knew were killed in a horrible accident on that skyway. I get near panic attacks ever since with ultra high bridges and deep canyons. I cling to the interior wall while everyone else is checking out the view from the observation deck of the Sear’s tower.

    I can’t even think of the old Tampa Bay bridge without my muscles doing a tight curl. First time over it, I told DH it was going down. It eventually did.

    I have no problems with normal airplanes, but freaked in the tour plane over the Grand Canyon. Those planes have ultra low to seat level observation windows.

  35. As a past sky-diver, I was told that people who suffer from heights only do so if they are in contact with the ground (or a building). That is why they can fly at 30,000 feet or sky-dive.
