Link to videoReminds me of this one time I told some guy I owed money to, that I’d give him his 40 dollars there on that ledge, just meet me there tomorrow. Then the next day I totally didn’t go. I just stayed home lol. He must have felt so stupid when he got up there and I wasn’t even there lol. I mean I went up the night before and left the 40 dollars there but lol I didn’t even hand it to him lol.

The harness just makes it more dangerous. In a crash, I would prefer to be thrown free.

That one looks rather safe. I'd give it a try.

I agree with the first part of your statement.
Second part? Nope, nope, nope.

I’m with George on this one. I’ve developed a fearful respect of heights as I’ve gotten older. No problem being in a building or a plane, but even walking across a tall bridge and looking over the side gives me butterflies.
30 years ago I jumped from airplanes and hot air balloons. I wouldn’t do it now.

wrote on 23 Nov 2022, 12:44 last edited by@jon-nyc my fear started when I was in my early 40s. I drove a motorhome over the Mackinac bridge on a blustery day. Since then, bridges give me the willies.
It made vacations in Portland a bit fun - bicycling over the river. And that bridge in NOLA? Not gonna happen.
But, if someone ELSE is driving, no problem. We did the bus tour in San Francisco, and it was fine over the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Going over high trestles on the train never bothered me either, despite being 10-15 stories up.

From what I can tell, she's only using one carabiner. Whereas normally I thought it was normal to have two, so that you can unhook one and move it to the other side of a post, while keeping one still connected.
No, I would not do that. Maybe for 10 million bucks, but no not just for fun.

My dad has a sincere fear of driving over tall bridges. Like, when I was 15 and only had my learners permit, we came to a bridge (not sure which, let's say it's the Delaware Bridge on 95), I had to drive as he kept his eyes closed in the passenger seat. He said he didn't always have it, but developed the fear sometime in his 20s or 30s.

I've done this bus ride before (it's going up the mountain road on the Island of Capri, Italy) but it's a great example of my number one fear, if I had to pick... driving along cliff roads. Whether I'm driving (preferred) or not, it makes me pucker up quite a bit. Skip to the 3:00 mark for what I saw, and what can wake me up at night if I think about it, LOL.
