"I've never been able to stand on a high place, without thinking about jumping off"
James Simon Kunen, The Strawberry Statement, 1969
Even stepping off of curbs has become a "hang on to something" ordeal these days.
It sucks to get old.

Cuttin' yer own toenails ain't gettin' any easier either. ?????ÿ
Its hard to watch due to the jerky nature of the footage.?ÿ I spent a lot of time climbing, jumping off of snow covered cliffs and in and out of flying helicopters, and started a Private pilots license so vertigo isn't a thing for me. Hurky Jerky footage with fish eye abberations will make a billy goat puke if he watches long enough.?ÿ
I still have a healthy respect for being at heights, but no vertigo yet....but im getting older.... ????ÿ

I've been wondering how that works.?ÿ I'm still flexible enough for the job, but I can envision a day when I just won't be able to bend where I need to bend to accomplish the task.?ÿ The only thing I can figure is that you become a customer of the pedicure place after that.
That was wild.?ÿ I would never ever do something like that.?ÿ But, it was no problem to watch, though.?ÿ That last fool was begging to be a grease spot.
I love being up high and looking out, but I don't like being up high.?ÿ The needle in Seattle gave me the creeps.?ÿ I remember standing with my toes at the glass in the World Trade Center thinking what a view, and having to back off at the same time.?ÿ I used to walk the top of foundations to shoot the corners, then one day I realized this is stupid. Never again.?ÿ That guy at the end is nuts!

@jim-frame Mom's 86 and she can still touch her toes.?ÿ I'm hoping I won't have an issue.
Pick any (or all) person(s) lying down and screaming or being dragged and screaming and that would be me. Actually you would never get me anywhere near something like this. ?????ÿ
I got a couple minutes into the first video before I experienced any vertigo. My dad has terrible vertigo. Even riding in a car and not being the driver can affect him.
I have to say, I play a video game that at the beginning you drop in to the game from a flying ship and in some places there are "holes" in the map that go all the way through. Now, jumping from the ship is no big deal BUT when you're running across the map, jump over a wall and find out there's no bottom on the other side of said wall, well that's when the feeling of vertigo really kicks in. ????ÿ

I want to try this sometime somewhere.?ÿ Looks like fun.?ÿ Close your eyes or look straight ahead to break the vertigo sensation.?ÿ Of course, convincing that little part of your brain that is yelling 'I'M GOING TO DIE" to stop is the trick.
Watching these videos is comparable to training wheels on a bike. Everyone should experience a virtual reality headset. It is 100x more difficult to convince your brain what you are seeing is not actually real. Someone said if you buy your own personal VR headset, you should expect to break something in your house of equal value when you first use it.
I've already done the crashing into things (the fireplace) with an Oculus Quest. Won't even look at some of the vertigo VR clips out there. ?????ÿ

Yea, I hear ya. You go first! ?????ÿ

I'm lucky if I can put my underwear on, in the morning, without falling over...
I get a fear reaction from some of those, but not vertigo, which is a dizzy sensation.
My favorite one lately was the guy climbing up, out and over the arm of the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janerio that was posted on this site some time ago.
