Thats insane. No shirt, no shoes, no *SPLAT*.

I am also deathy afraid of heights. However, my fiance talked me into doing a rope course for her sister's birthday. It was four of us that went and did the course. It looked pretty tame in photos(which is why i agreed), but once I was in the trees it was adrenaline overload the whole time. I'd highly recommend it. I was the only one genuinely terrified, but I'm sure I got the biggest rush out of completing it on the most difficult course.

May sound crazy, but I bet you'd enjoy it as much as I did. Heres the one I went to:

See if you can find one locally. Put that fear to good use.

All I can think is what if there's a sudden gust of wind? He's toast.

That guy is playing with his life, and it's going to cost him one day.

Just so I am clear, this guy can do this with no repercussions but if I don't wear my seat belt in my car I get a $100 ticket?

Wow, that's pretty nuts.

I thought of this video when I saw yours Michael. They showed it to us as part of our Nuclear Power School training. Thought you might like it :)

Not really. If he slips he will still have time to grab the line with his arms.

Those guys must have a few short-circuits in their bionic implants.

I had a feeling women would be one of the few things he was afraid of.

Difference is, if he falls there will be no medical bills for us taxpayers to take care of.

I saw this guy about 10 years ago in a mall in Birmingham. He's pushing 70 now and still going, though obviously he's a wimp for using a pole
