ted527 21 Posted May 12, 2015 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.

1LtCAP 4,264 Posted May 12, 2015 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.

njJoniGuy 2,133 Posted May 13, 2015 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. http://www.cntower.ca/en-ca/plan-your-visit/attractions/glass-floor.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 4,326 Posted May 13, 2015 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!!!!!!!!!

mark_anthony_78 0 Posted May 13, 2015 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'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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
