Dayum I would fill my pampers 30 times being in that situations
I wouldn't be a fan of heights, but have done parachute jumps, bungee and zip lining. Hardest height related thing I did was getting enough courage to walk on the glass floor of the CN tower in Toronto. It took me about 30 minutes to build up the courage to do it whereas all the other stuff I just did without hesitation!
EDIT:
Not me, but this is what I struggled with:

same here, some of these will meet me in my dreams for sure
Love the Petronas one!
Some of those people are nuts and others are just crazy!
What - like this (my feet):Originally Posted by Enda
I'm scared of heights but only when I know the situation is potentially unsafe. I KNOW that the glass floor in the CN tower is safe (otherwise it wouldn't be allowed) however, get me within about 3 feet of a cliff edge and my legs get wobbly. put a barrier there (of at least half my height) and I'm fine again. Something to hold onto - no problem.
I think that I'm not actually scared of heights but more of falls with sudden stops at the end :-)
Cheers,
Fantastic photos, fair play to the brave people involved and for providing the chance for someone to take great pictures that I can view in the safety of my home!!
The one that freaked me out the most was the blond lying on the ledge taking the photo upside down. I think that's because that's the most real for me as I'd never be in any of the other situations.
Great legs too
I took my time before stepping out on it, I must admit. And while you may 'KNOW' it's safe, I know that it's a number of laminated glass panels fixed to a frame that are entirely capable of breaking down (UV, time, stress). It's little comfort that they are tested annually as any failure, as and when it happens, is quite possibly going to be a sudden event. The glass is comprised of a number of layers, some with an air gap between and some bonded together - a delamination or breakdown of the bonding resin may cause movement which puts stress on the mounting points or knock-on pressure on other layers.
It was a 'known' fact that the WTC couldn't burn down and it did... Unforeseen failure at the edges of the floor mounting caused failure of one floor which caused excess loading on the next, and so on.
I'm a worrier :)

I don't know where it is, but the picture of a young dude standing on what looks like a star (pic 13), makes my stomach turn over.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that wears pampers!
Don't worry...he couldn't have fallen the whole 22 stories after coming off the spire! There's a roof to catch him:
Yup, just like that! Once I was on it I was fine, it was just building up the courage to take the first step!What - like this (my feet):

If I was camping attached to a cliff face I doubt I'd be reading a book! I'd be bailing out my trousers!
That was the one that got me!!
I think that's the only one I'd have the balls (sic) to try myself, I might have kept my legs down though!The one that freaked me out the most was the blond lying on the ledge taking the photo upside down.

There is no way I would be asleep at any point during the night in that tent
I need to lie down now. Feel sick
Stomach churning or what, some of them made my a... twitch.
Mmmhhh... Not for me, made me feel a little queezy!!!!
....and that's the bit that got me about it; the tipping point.
