I have commercial, multi-engine, glider and instrument ratings and have flown something over 800 hours, but I could not do that. I have to have something between me and the ground, even if it’s only fabric.

Um. No. I get vertigo looking UP at the CN tower from the ground.

Build an outrigger boom and have bungee jumping.

I can not tell you what I would do NOT to be up there.

I stood at the base of the tower and looked up. It looked like the tower was falling toward me. The way the support legs slope inward as they go up, it creates an optical illusion when you look up from the base.

Or maybe it’s just me.

Sorry, I was a lineman for ten years. You have to be half a freakin’ nut to do this.

I enjoy Skydiving, but you couldn’t get me in a tall building, must less hanging off of one. Well, maybe you could if I was wearing a parachute, but that would be the only way.
