    I watch stuff like this and it honestly makes my hands sweat and the bottom of my feet tingle. These ****s are mental. Absolutely off their nuts.

    ****ing HATE heights. That and deep water, namely that you can't see the bottom of (sea, lakes, quarries, reservoirs etc).

    Anyone got any bad phobias? Mate of my mine can't fly unless he's vallied off his tits <ok>

    I can't handle heights, I really gets to me. Am ok if it's a balcony or there's a window, but if it's easy to fall I can't handle it.

    There's quite a few actually...

    Not keen on heights, but I do see the attraction. I did a bit of rigging back in the day, 120 foot up with no harness. The adrenalin rush is 10x better than any drug I've ever taken.

    Open staircase with a glass front makes me dizzy.I bought a three storey house in need of a complete repaint and did it myself though.It took three weeks and I went round it on a ladder going up one rung at a time.By the time I finished I was more or less ok.

    So being suspended from a plane in a small steel cage would just about do for you then?

    I don't enjoy small spaces either. The thought of going caving or pot-holing makes me jittery too.

    I can handle rides.

    It's just standing somewhere where you can fall that gets me, like near cliffs.

    Nah, **** that too.

    Would you go on the one in Edinburgh (?) That's the seats on the chains that swings out over the city? **** that too. All it takes is human error or a mechanical fault, and then it's 7 years of your family trying to get reimbursed for your untimely death <ok>

    Can't handle heights at all unless there are loads of structures around me.

    Also developed agrophobia years back after being stranded in the Sahara for two days.

    And heights.

    Peas and heights.

    But I'd still batter **** into any **** on here.

    I'm going so watch this programme.... Even though I'll be sweating bullets.

    A shame for someone with a love of wool to be scared of angora.







    Edit: sorry. I read that wrong.

    Usual ****: heights, large spiders, doctors/dentists, a bit claustrophobic and really don't like flying.
