My (ex) girlfriend and I saw the IMAX movie, "Adrenaline Rush" a few months ago. It was about base jumpers, guys who jump off cliffs.
This guy is jumping off of a fjord in Norway. The ground is over 4000 feet down.
as someone who is very, very, very fearful of heights, i can't imagine anyone enjoying this.
I take it then you haven't been to the Royal Gorge bridge in Colorado - the HIGHEST bridge in the US - and a suspension bridge at that!
Quite a view. The river below (some 1300+ feet) looks about ¼ inch wide!!! And the bridge sways as cars drive over. My dad threw his cap off the side once when I was a kid and we watched for about 2 minutes (at least that how long it seemed as a kid LOL) as it fell before we lost sight of it.
Royal Gorge? At least the crossing here at the New River Gorge is a paved, four-lane highway...I wouldn't walk across that rattletrap at Royal Gorge, much less drive on it.
