I felt very uncomfortable when one of them started to perform some "tricks". Stupid, reckless or courageous? You decide. But you have to watch this!

Stumble This
really bad video, and definitely stupid, but one of the strongest physical reactions i ever felt from a video.
so what's with the R.I.P arm strap at the end? It was dated 11/23/2006. Maybe their stupidness finally caught up to one.
Don't know, but the vid is dated in 2007 and the RIP thing is in 2006.
Weird... I just don't get what possesses some people to do stuff like this.
The climb was topped off with the toss of a cigarette butt from the very top, and it's sparky explosion on the windshield of a bulldozer at the bottom.

Sweaty Palms!! Amazing. I wonder why that happens?
Dangerous or steep overhangs will trigger vertigo (weak knees, lack of balance, sensation of swaying) in me. It's similarly counter-intuitive. Why lose balance in a situation which so critically requires it?
Maybe these reactions are evolutionarily advantageous because they steer us towards completely avoiding the situations (at the expense of coping badly if we have no choice).
Sweaty palms as well. Counter-intuitive response, right, since it would hurt your ability to grip?

Seeing as how we're bipedal with a high center of gravity and a slender base, it'd serve us well to steer clear of heights. Those of our ancestors that were afraid of heights lived to see another day in most cases while those with no fear had a higher chance of a fatal fall. Or maybe it's just something that happens because we're not used to being in those situations any longer. Can we change this response to this by becoming more familiar with it?

Don't likey.
I mean, upvote for the insanity, but... urgh
Don't ask why.
Also don't ask why I thought it was necessary to point this out.
Could all of you be suffering from Acrophobia?? Be worried. Be VERY worried. Only I know the secret cure, which is why MY palms are NOT sweaty...
O.K., maybe a little moist - but NOT sweaty!!!!
