The first time I went skydiving I was fine until I got to the door. My mind was telling me not to jump and my body was not cooperating as I stared down 14k feet.

I finally rocked my body out the door and it was a rush!

The rule of thumb for construction safety standards in the 1930’s was to expect a fatality for every million dollars of total budget.

when i get on a plane i have to take some xanax,if i dont ill have a panic attack or something
What causes you to panic? I can't understand why people are so frightened of flying. Commercial found has become so safe. Riding a bus is more dangerous.

I know there's a new thing in the climbing community about climbing without ropes... I remember seeing it on 60 minutes... Alex Honnold was the guy:

Video.

I am scared shitless of heights, so seeing anyone attempt these type of stunts makes me cringe.

I think it is generally agreed that the photo was staged but the workers were real.

In other words, the photo was shot in a studio then blended into the shot of the girder on the 69th floor of that skyscraper.

The photo may be manipulated, but the dictum I stated is nonetheless true.  Construction projects during this period expected a fatality for every $1,000,000 USD of budget.

Edit:  The photo is staged, but they are indeed 69 stories up.
