Myself NO. but I used to hang out of a copters with a gunners belt. [quote=“Fry”"] I’m not tempted. I never thought I was afraid of heights until I tried to get to the top of my chimney. Turns out I am. [/quote] ---

Fuck yes. My legs turn to rubber. If I’m enclosed, like in an office building looking out, I’m fine. The second I feel open air + heights, I’m useless. ---

Afraid? Maybe “aware” is a better term. As in aware that one slip from 30’ and I’m dead. I blame Praxair. ---

used to be…but I climb industrial chimney’s all the time now. So it’s no biggie. Actually, the scariest for me has been inside the dam at the New York Power Authority. I was repelling down a 120’ cliff while it is pitch black and all you can hear is little stones falling down into the abyss. I’ll post up some pictures. about 95ft: ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10652&stc=1&d=1254932275](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10652&stc=1&d=1254932275) about 180ft: ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10657&stc=1&d=1254932275](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10657&stc=1&d=1254932275) this is behind the wall at Power Authority Dam, about 80ft: ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10658&stc=1&d=1254932275](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10658&stc=1&d=1254932275) about 225ft: ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10660&stc=1&d=1254932275](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10660&stc=1&d=1254932275) about 400ft: ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10661&stc=1&d=1254932275](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10661&stc=1&d=1254932275) ---

I’m not a fan of heights… and being who I am, I normally look at crap and see how I could fail… Thus rollercoasters and crap like that I’m very leary of. But… I used to rock climb up few hundred foot cliffs and repel down them like there’s no tomorrow and I never had an issue. ---

It bothers me at first, but after I’m there for awhile I’m fine. Putting a metal roof on my dad’s barn was fun. 6-12 pitch, 55’ off the ground. ---

When I was younger I was petrified of heights, but now I’m not. It’s weird. Like ST, doing roofing on stupid pitches makes you not so much of a bitch ---
