oh great i will try that in my hometown now…
Having only watched the first five or so minutes, I feel that either the video is staged, or that parent is doing time in jail after having had his children taken away from him.
I’m with Luis. I felt extremely uneasy, but it was nothing to do with vertigo, just the idea of kids climbing up there without any kind of safety harness or even proper footwear! Nice that he had on climbing gloves for grip, but the kids didn’t get any
O_O , That is freaky and I felt sick too !!!
Hmmm interesting! I felt some vertigo, but quite a lot less than when I saw this…
I’d agree – I immediately thought of that video too – exposure on all sides (and for some reason not using a safety clip-on). In comparison, the bridge climbing one is quite moderate.
I saw this video before… https://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/head-for-heights/ 😉
at 9 minutes was when I probably started to feel sick!
Lol, the only bit that would make me nervous was following the others! If the first one slipped he’d take out the others with him.
It’s not as bad as the tower climbing video you posted a while back. I actually think part of the problem is the slight fish-eye effect.
Toes curling!
Made my palms and feet sweaty watching that. I deffo do not like being at heights where there is a chance of falling. Oddly I love to fly. But high bridges rooftops or roller coasters- urgh!
The getting back down must be tricky. Would you do it head first?
Slide
Well I’m scared of heights so I’d faint if it was me but watching the video, I think it’s the camera movements that gave me a headache.
This is just insanely dangerous. Don’t try this az home!
How did they get down!?
Well, that is not hard…
Except: the bridge probably is…
I found that very hard to watch. Put me completely on edge – horrible.
Chilling. I wonder if the fish-eye lens had something to do with the effect.
That bridge was designed to be climbed.
Why are kids with school backpacks doing that?
Those are their parachutes. /k
This would be AMAZING sans the fish eye and in 3D. I feel the fisheye lense did a lot to convince us of the depth of the thing, which was pretty clever. Many videos like this lose that depth. But imagine it in 3D. This is one of the few times I feel that technology would actually be useful.
I see no reason to assume he’s their Dad.
If you think he is, and want more reason to disapprove of him, he also swears constantly.
Climbing the first half in a bear crawl couldn’t have been very comfortable.
Nice club house at the top. They should fix it up.
Oh dear Lord! That was so difficult to watch. My stomach was lurching and I actually found myself holding my breath at times. When the videographer would turn around or almost bump into the person in front of him I would gasp. Wow, so scary.
could it be that these people are like those who built the first skyscrapers, and have no fear of heights or a differing concept of it to ‘us’, and thus are not scared and more sure footed?
or yes, are they just absolutely bats**t crazy.
Its a good video.
The fact the person filming is using what looks like a fish eye lens…does not help any audience member when veiwing as it distorts the perspective shown.
Slightly sickening but very cool.

Always wanted to know how it feels like to climb up something as narrow as this and look down from the top…this video helps..:)
Dizzy and terrified
OMG, I don’t think I’m ever going to recover from watching this – terrifying and nauseating! And then I sat and watched the tower climbing video. 🙂
Darwin wiil take care of them soon.
Respect to this guy for his concerns about the safety…for his camera!
That one wasn’t too bad. Watching this guy climb the Stalin Skyscraper definitely made me nervous though.
I’m right in the middle of this when “It’s Time For Me to Fly” (REO Speedwagon) comes on the radio. THAT freaked me out!
I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else!
