Head for heights?

[HeyWayne]

Just doing a bit of work on YouTube about the Burj Khalifa (world's tallest building currently) and saw this:

YouTube - On the top of Burj Khalifa's spire

Ironic as it might sound, but I'm not great with heights - this however, is just ridiculous!

Same building and first thought in my head when I saw it.

Chuckle.

You've just reminded me of something.

Skydiving for those on a budget, or those with a fear of flying.

1: Load up Google Earth and enter your location
2: Zoom out really far.
3: Sit really close to your computer screen.
4: Switch on your desk fan and zoom back in really fast using your scroll wheel.
5: You're skydiving!

Oh dear, I am such a wimp! I had to turn it off after 37 seconds cos I felt giddy and my palms were all sweaty!!

Dare I even look at the Spain one?!

You beat me by 37 seconds I couldn't even bring myself to watch it. Ironic considering my family have been roofers for a couple of generations now. I panic when I feel the block move in the wind and I am only 10 floors up just the though it of watching it sets me off.

[Helgalush]

I am the same. I just wanted to see how high it was, but that was CRAZY!

[HeyWayne]

You think that's high. If the Saudi's build theirs...
