oh bloody fuck

I'm terrified of heights.

And I watched that whole damn thing. Don't ask why.

5/11/2008 12:38:06 AM

me too. gave me mini panic attacks.

i think it's the way the guy/girl holds the camera out over the edge.

5/11/2008 12:40:16 AM

i think that might have been mounted on a helmet

at any rate, I'm going to have nightmares about this.

5/11/2008 12:41:59 AM

I won't be clicking this

5/11/2008 12:42:47 AM

i did this one in hawaii. took a lot of convincing, and i'd never do anything worse than this. (Actually, i probably wouldn't even do this one again. haha)

5/11/2008 12:44:07 AM

that was awesome!! i still would definitely not balance on the metal parts though. i'm sure i'd turn back at the first hole i discovered in the walkway.

5/11/2008 12:49:50 AM

i think you can clip yourself onto that cable that runs along the trail. about 3/4 of the way through i think a guy is wearing a climbing harness and is strapping himself in.

i still wouldn't do it though.

5/11/2008 12:51:06 AM

yea i saw the cable but yea...still a little to risky

5/11/2008 12:52:19 AM

heights are bulletproof and I can't outrun them, therefore I'm kinda scared of em

5/11/2008 12:53:15 AM

^ i hear ya. i went to the top of the eiffel tower when i was in paris, but i was shittin' bricks the entire time we were in the elevator

5/11/2008 12:55:41 AM

i did this and stairway to heaven.

5/11/2008 1:39:27 AM

its not the heights that scare me

its the falling

5/11/2008 4:17:20 AM

anyone wana go ?

5/11/2008 6:35:40 AM

know why it doesnt have any comments and has been on there since april 29th?


cause it fucking blows.....0/10


with a title like "Afraid of heights? Do NOT watch this video." it failed to deliver

[Edited on May 11, 2008 at 7:30 AM. Reason : but the place looks awesome]

5/11/2008 7:29:21 AM

That one is nothing compared to the one in China:

5/11/2008 7:54:39 AM

i would love to do that in spain. i dont think i'd like the parts where the concrete has collapsed though. heights aren't something that scare me at all

5/11/2008 8:55:17 AM

^ Yeah, it's not the heights that bother me, but the missing chunks of walkway.

And that guy doesn't even go out of his way to step away from the holes in the concrete

5/11/2008 10:42:23 AM

5/11/2008 11:07:25 AM

jesus! no way in hell i'd be doing that. even if you're strapped in.

5/11/2008 11:22:55 AM

that looks awesome!!

5/11/2008 11:25:21 AM

other than the holes randomly in the walkway that looks pretty awesome

5/11/2008 12:02:29 PM

im scared of heights but would hike just b/c if you dont ... then you would be a huge pussy and i love scaring the shit out of myself with stuff like this

makes you feel alive

5/11/2008 3:51:09 PM

^ yeah you'd have to be insane to not have any fear of that but i sure would enjoy it...

5/11/2008 3:52:22 PM

goddamn I want to do this

it looks just like a level in half life.

5/11/2008 3:58:18 PM

little known fact

the kings walkway was actually designed based off a level in half life

5/11/2008 4:00:58 PM

I'm infinitely more impressed with the people who built this thing than I am with the people who walk on it.

5/11/2008 4:01:16 PM

i don't even want to think about that...

5/15/2008 11:14:33 PM

it would be fun to go running on that thing.

5/15/2008 11:20:13 PM

i'm not sure i agree with you there.

haha.

5/15/2008 11:21:01 PM

fuck that

5/15/2008 11:24:53 PM

yea this is the kind of heights im scared of

5/15/2008 11:25:24 PM

me!

5/15/2008 11:30:01 PM

love these heights...


not the hike heights...

5/15/2008 11:32:05 PM

I hiked on something similar to this in Germany. Really awesome view!

5/16/2008 1:24:08 AM

those look so fun. I would love to go on that hawaiian one.

5/16/2008 1:29:46 AM

I'd wanna try that sometime, with the safety gear, that last beam that guy took looks like the motherfucker is just balancing.

Anyone else find themselves leaning to the opposite side of the dropoff?

5/16/2008 1:40:50 AM

thats intense

5/16/2008 1:44:05 AM

wow my boy has on some teva's walking across those pipes ... that's baller as fuck

The landing would suck as well

5/16/2008 1:53:06 AM

meh landing from that heighth probably wouldnt be to bad at all.

5/16/2008 2:02:57 AM

hell the fall would be fun

the landing would suck balls though

5/16/2008 2:10:36 AM

why is he by himself?

Quote :

go to about 58 seconds. you can see in the shadow that the person is holding the camera in front of himself

[Edited on May 16, 2008 at 3:26 AM. Reason : asdf]

5/16/2008 3:24:44 AM

I'm not afraid of falling, I'm afraid of the sudden stop

5/16/2008 3:49:27 AM

^

^^d'oh!

I actually thought of this thread today. Despite being terrified of heights, I was all off the paved, safe overlooks with guardrails today (Grand Canyon). I'd stand somewhere to take a picture, then zorthage would stand further from the edge than I had been, and I would start getting sick to my stomach and weak-kneed over it.

I was, truly, more scared today than I have ever been before in my life. I've never been so scared that it felt like my legs were trying to vomit and like my stomach was trying to crawl into the ground

The pictures I got were totally worth it, though

English, motherfucker. You can has it

5/16/2008 6:58:39 AM

let's see one then!

5/16/2008 8:19:54 AM

5/16/2008 8:20:55 AM

^^^

5/16/2008 8:26:47 AM

that looked like a hell of a lot of fun until he had to walk on that one pipe where the walkway was missing

5/16/2008 8:34:35 AM

if this is the video i think it is, my bf showed it to me the other day and i felt sick after 10 seconds...i had to look away.
