When I was watching it I was leaning to my left for sure, sweating palms and feet, a real mess but kept watching the clip. Those two are very brave, or very not!

Oh heck no!!! I almost got a nose bleed watching that video.
Mountains/cliffs are for billy goats, Heidi and observing from afar.....period!!
John and I went to the autumn festival at Hunter Mountain in NY State a few years ago and he thought it would be "fun" to take a ride on the chair lift.
I thought I could get over my fear of heights so I agreed to join him.
About 15 feet into the air, I thought I was gonna die.
When we got to the top of the mountain, John asked me if I wanted to get off of the chair lift to "compose" myself and I replied that if I got off of the chair, there was no way he could get me back into it to head back down the mountain.
My fingers were wrapped so tightly around the chair bar that I thought they were going to dig into the metal.
I spent a lot of time in the lodge bar later that day.....the shooters and Heinekens were very, very good.

When I was 12 years old I was jumping off a 100 foot cliff into water over 300 feet deep with not a worry in my mind, had to even swim almost a quater mile just get out of the quarry after landing.
Now, seeing that I am the youngest dude at my shop....I am the one that has to climb the 20 foot high staging to change the light bulbs, can you say "fuck me im going to die falling"
Man, I miss being young thinking im superman!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Awe, to be 20 again!  I tell the younger one's that we ride with when they egg us on to try some very technical area's while biking that at my age my bones break, not bend so I am mature enough to say no when I know I might get hurt.
I also tell them I have a mortgage and a full time job! 
Here is another clip but this time the guy falls. That's gotta hurt!

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
(Ellen)
