Insanity

I'm not really scared of heights, but I don't think I could do this. 2,130ft up on the Shanghai Tower

Not for me either and I work up high sometimes. Not like I would be any less dead falling from 85 ft. Lol

That's insane.
I've been 1000 feet up on a high rise during construction and while pouring concrete, and that was crazy enough just kinda looking over the edge.

I don't have a fear of heights, I have a fear of falling. But that did look cool.

I would have been fine up till the part where they started walking on the crane. At that point I would have said hell no.

I love heights. I used to love going aloft on my boat in the Navy, but playing around on that crane with no harness??? That's crazy!
