30 Times People Posted Unnerving Pics Of Great Heights That Made Others Say “Hell No”
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.

Currently at #19 this one would be the first I could get behind IF IT WEREN'T SNOWING. I love snow, but that roof must be slick as an oiled sheet of glass

The View From High Rock Lookout, Washington State. Will Someone Please Close The Door?
Chez2202 1 year ago
My daughter sent me a picture of a hummingbird from a mountain platform in Ecuador when she went there last year on a trip with her college to build bridges and animal shelters. This reminds me of that picture. They were halfway up the mountain and it was a wooden platform with no rails around the sides, just some lights on the edges. I panicked for days. This really is scary for me.

Glass floors, fine. Staircases, fine. Your job takes you to the top of cellphone towers, fine. But BP, do not give a platform to people taking dangerous selfies.

Yes, some of these people are crazy mother f*****s that are going to end up on a Darwin awards list.

I was once eye witness of the fall of a free climber...he fell only 12 - 13 m, but it was enough

People: do whatever you want to do with your own life. But either some of these are not as spectacular as they look, or one day soon some idiot is going to fall onto a bridge or a busy street and cause a LOT of fatalities (not just their own). Like someone said, all it takes is a badly timed sneeze

How many times do we as humans slip, trip, sneeze and get knocked off your balance, have a dizzy spell. It's just not worth it. It's not about being sure footed, humans are fallible. It makes me feel ill.

I guess I’m not adventurous. But, then again, I’m still alive after half a century. I just can’t imagine why anyone would risk their lives (or, worse, the lives of others) to take a photo of their legs dangling off of a ledge. There’s enough that can go wrong on the ground. Why risk it?

After looking at these photos, I can confirm that I'm not afraid of heights, but of falling from them. If the person is wearing visible safety equipment or otherwise cannot fall, I have no problem looking at the photo. If they're rawdogging it, I feel nauseated and anxious.

Some of the people photographed lack imagination, as they cannot foresee anything going wrong.

Ah, I needed this —seeing the perspective from high places knocks the mud off my soul. I miss going up (my fetal “co-pilot” had me grounded until their birth) and if I can’t fly a plane, I’ll enjoy the photos others bring back down to earth!
