I began to consider what you said, and realised that that's material on the left, not something to hold onto. I started to panic... Must be windy up there...

Here's something for ya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68fJP35FxyQ. Skip to around 1:10 for the actual video. Oh, and don't forget this and this. Being absolutely shit scared of heights, these videos make me cringe.

I have been hanging over the edge on top of buildings on occasions, but it's mostly not the height that scares me - it's the strange urge I get to jump.

Fear of heights is like seasickness, I just don't get it.

Same here, although I am pretty sure I don't want to actually do it :P

More than 5 stories and I can't stand an open air roof or such, past about 20 and I can't stand looking out the window.

Anything below 3 and I'm fine jumping off the side though, it's fun jumping off 2 story buildings tbh, I've never done 3 story but I'd be willing to try it :)

I wonder where that urge comes from... I get it to and not in a suicidal way but just like some sort of feeling that overcomes me like when a fly looks at light. Luckily I don't do it if I know it's dangerous.

Is it just me or doesn't it look like the one in the background is not facing the right way. In fact it seems to suggest that the big one is facing the wrong way....
