Once you understand that a 6' fall can make you just as dead as a 1300' fall, it's all the same (at least in my opinion)

I have fallen 6' more than once with no injuries.

Don't think falling from 1300' would be quite the same.

Don't really have a fear of heights and watched the video with no problem.. Still wouldn't get my ass up that tower.

wanna hear something funny? i took a job working for a communications company. dude asked me if i were afraid of heights. i told him we'd find out. we did. i am. we went up on barclay towers in cherry hill to mount antennas. i had to go to the edge of the roof to drop a rope to haul the ladders up(too big to fit in the sevice elevator). i couldn't get to the edge. i pretty much froze. almost pissed myself. yea, it was that bad.

 

 now the funny part. i fly. i have no problem whatsoever in an airplane. i've circled atco raceway, watching races. i've rode back seat as mission scanner in CAP looking for a downed helicopter. 1,000ft at 70kts in a slip so i could get a good look down through the tree canopy. no problems. but i couldn't #$% get to the edge of a roof.  power on and power off stalls at 4,000ft no problem. turning stalls, no problem. unusual attitude recovery at 2,000ft, no problem. but i can't get to the edge of a dam roof.

Next time you're in Toronto, Ontario go up to the observation deck in the CN Tower.

There's a section of plexiglass floor.

I couldn't step foot on it. Scared sh1tless looking down.

But both my daughters had no problems at all.

I got up on the roof of my house about 20 years ago about 30 feet and a steep pitch. No problem getting up there but when I had to come down, I froze and told my wife to call the fire department!!!

My wife's brother came up and talked me down. NEVER AGAIN!!!!  I won't even do the Christmas lights anymore!  F@#K ladders! My ass stays on the ground.

 

Funny thing, when I was a kid I climbed up on a lot of roofs and tall trees but not anymore!  When a TV show shows what an actor sees as he walks to the edge of of a building roof and looks down,

I can't even watch! What a pu$$y I became in my old age!!!!!!!!!

That damn bridge on 95 going to DC tries to pull my car over the edge everytime.

I've done the CN tower glass floor... kinda scary but not too bad.

 

I've also done the X-Scream (~866 feet high) and BigShot  (~1000 feet high) rides at the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.   Probably wouldn't do those again
