Amazing things like this make me wish I wasn't afraid of heights. Even the pictures sort of make me feel uneasy. Haha Regardless, this is incredible.

- dsego 13y agothere is a way to confront the fear. just find an activity that involves heights, but with other people and safety equipment. like caving for example, like this (I was there): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9ichMz2sCM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9ichMz2sCM

- arethuza 13y agoIf those pictures make you uneasy then watch Jeb Corliss in action BASE jumping from the Golden Gate :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6FLHSTg5kc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6FLHSTg5kc
- nsxwolf 13y agoYou're not afraid of heights, you're afraid of falling. To me, NOT being afraid of heights is irrational.
- singlow 13y agoI love falling. It's hitting the ground that I'm afraid of.
- akama 13y agoThis reminds me of an old joke. How do you survive a 100 foot fall? Jump off a 110 foot building.

- roryokane 13y agoI am afraid of heights, even when I am not afraid of falling. I dislike being on a high balcony even if I am ten feet away from the edge, with a trustworthy railing there. That's the way my body works - the fear is left over from more primitive times, before high places had windows and railings.
- nsxwolf 13y agoI'm afraid of low railings on high balconies. I don't understand why they build railings that are below the center of rotation of the average person.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoI've been complaining about this for years. I want a railing that will stop me from falling over the edge if I get into that situation, not one that will merely ensure I go over headfirst.
- bicknergseng 13y agoI'm afraid of dying as the result of a fall from significant height, to be clear. Skydiving with a parachute? No sweat. Bungie jumping? Uncomfortable, but not too bad. Being anywhere near the edge of a 40 foot cliff? My palms are made out of water.
- base698 13y agoTake up skydiving and then BASE jumping. I too was afraid of heights, then one night I was on a scaffold climbing 300 ft in the air. I thought then, you know this isn't scary anymore. Skydiving is a good way to ease into it, because you're so high it doesn't have the immediate danger that being lower to the ground, but relatively high does.
