Want to take a walk? (Not for those afraid of heights!)

I suspect that the camera was attached to a hard hat type thing. did you look at his shadow? His arms aren't raised to hold a camera. And I think he had the harness, and increased the speed for this video, to make it more . . . well, just MORE!

I laughed at the shadow -- IT was staying well on the inside! Just the sun angle, but it made me chuckle.

No way I could ever do that myself. I walked up one level on the Eiffel Tower (from level 1 to 2; never went to the top not even in the elevator as we ran out of time);panicked and got 'stuck' for almost 20 minutes. People actually PASSED me!

Well I am really a wimp. We used to vacation in New Hampshire and would go on hikes. I remember one hike we went on where I was just afraid to go higher. It was over rocks and the walk got steeper (not like the nice trails that I had been on that wound slowly upward). I stayed at the bottom of that last part of the climb. So close, but I just couldn't do it. I said I would be happy to look at the pictures that the others took from up there.

I think he is holding the camera. Right before he got on a bride you can see a good whole body shot of his shadow and both arms are raised at that point. He also doesn't seem to be wearing a hat. I really hope he (or she) isn't carrying the camera by hand though. Though it's hard to tell from a shadow, I thought the person kind of looked like a woman. Who knows?

I'm sure you're right about him speeding it up, I can't imagine he'd be able to walk it that fast. I'm not sure if he was wearing a harness or not, he passed others easily and he would have had to unclip his harness to pass them (which he may have done). There was also parts where it seemed as though the harness cable wasn't available, so even if he was harnessed for some of it I don't think he was for all of it. Just some of my observations.

I would do it.

No way!!!!!!

I found out on an outdoor adventure course that I have a fear of heights. I love rollercoasters and I always thought I might one day jump from a plane with a parachute, but my Neurosurgeon has told me that I can never do that again. I think that is ok with me.

Pam, I had to close it, but only because my phone was ringing. LOL!!

Heights don't really bother me so I had no problems watching the video, but I could not have walked across those bars without being roped up. My balance isn't great, and I would not have been happy doing that.

I assumed the camera was mounted on his forehead.

Oh, so you had to get the rest of us queasy?

My thirll seeker days ended a long time ago. I have built in danger indicators that let me know when I am "Close to the Edge".

My man vegetables start to shift around and get tingly.
