I'm not afraid of heights or falling. It's hitting the ground that sucks. Pretty cool video. In case anyone is wondering what or where that is:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminito_del_Rey



It's in Spain. Pretty interesting story, built between 1901 and 1905 so workers could get around quicker while building the dam(s). They are currently restoring it.

Its actually quite illegal to cross that. The biggest reason they're rebuilding it is to get people to stop trying.

Sure, why not? It's only high. People who can't walk that are the same people who fall off curbs on the street and die from a broken head. If you don't trust your balance, or if you just have half a lick of sense, there is a safety wire that runs the whole length of the (former) walkway. Harness, two short lines, two clips, you're golden the whole way 'round even if you fall!



The scenery would surely be worth the risk, if not for that whole "might get busted in a foreign country" bit.

Unless they told me Jessica Alba was naked at the top and if I got there I could keep her I would freeze up and be unable to force myself to continue. That's the thing about phobias.
