Afraid Of Heights

[slantman]

This is Tema Park in Las Vegas. Not for faint of heart:biggrin:

I've always wanted to wet my pants above the great city of Las Vegas. :scared:

Guess you had a good grip on the camera:scared:

Try hanging off the 250 foot tower at Ft. Benning.

I'm definitely scared of heights. So I do stuff like that to scare/challenge myself. Looks like fun.:cool:

Stevin Write takes walks on the ledge of his building. He says: "I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of widths."

No

Sort of. My brother had a job that would make you think twice about heights - he traveled the country working on radio/communication towers. He took some pictures from some 1,000-2000 foot monsters that would make your head spin...

I would like to check out those coasters in Vegas, though.

Heights, not at all.
Being suspended by rope or cable over heights? Yes.

It's irrational, but I am perfectly fine overlooking any ledge, but if I were to be suspended over that ledge with a rope or cable, I start to panic a little bit.

I first noticed this phobia(?) when I took a trip up to the top of the space needle. The glass elevator ride killed me, but once I was up at the observation deck, I was fine.

So I am guessing most of you would not climb out of the plane and let go at 12000' Like I did.

I rode the roller coaster on the roof of New York, New York the last time I was in Vegas. It is wrong on so many levels - but fun!
No, I wouldn't do it again.

Let me guess - The next thing they had you do was walk out of a perfectly good airplane.

I never did that, but I have rappelled Medicine Bluffs several times. And did the Slide For Life, which starts with you holding onto a T-bar 130 feet above the lake and landing in it at the end of the ride.

Landing a airplane is just a controled crash

Heck no! I am terrified to do that. The fact is I am in more danger driving to a drop area than I am actually jumping. My husband loves to sky dive. :w00t:

the heights don't bother me but the thought of that sudden stop shakes my nerves on occation.
