When it comes to heights, having a healthy dose of fear is completely natural. It is also linked to the fear of falling, which serves as a protective mechanism for most of us. However, some people seem to be fearless, pushing the boundaries of safety and even risking their lives by climbing to the edges of rooftops, rocky mountains, or even on a windowsill to reach a dirty spot on the ninth floor.

Today, we would like to present you with some of the craziest images from all over the internet that Bored Panda collected of adrenaline enthusiasts reaching unnerving heights. These experiences, which have either been photographed by others or documented by the daredevils themselves, can seem like an unattainable adventure for regular people, not to mention people with acrophobia (the fear of heights). So whether you are actually afraid of heights or simply are not a fan of putting your life at risk, these images will serve you as an adventure you would never take but could enjoy from the safety of solid ground.

I worked at the Willis tower when they switched the name from the sears tower. I was also there when they were installing those ledges, and I can tell you, that I still havent been out in one of them. I watched a 6 year old crack the first layer of glass in the left one with a paperweight the family bought in the gift shop. Absolutely f*cking WILD.

I was only able to skydive 3 times due to my fear of heights (done old style - alone with static line); 60 years later and I still do not know how I did it

I've not been up there since they added the glass floors to the edges. Thankfully, at least this person is safe inside!

Don'cha think if this guy was really afraid of heights, he wouldn't turn his back on it.
