I like heights but not like this

LOL!

It's a fine point you make, if slightly exaggerated.  There is certainly a time for "taking the high ground", "heading for high ground", "taking the high road", or "accompanying Stu atop his high horse", but I would argue that in any of those scenarios, the most obvious manifestation of that higher place would not be the top of a 1,700' tall tower, a stupid half-bridge over the Niagara Falls, or hanging your head out of a helicopter at 10,000'.  All I'm saying is that maybe one of the lower shades of gray would be appropriate.

That just depends.

C'mon man, that stupid half bridge is awesome.  I worked there for 2 seasons.  I held the record for the most people on a down trip in the elevator.  Them Japanese tourists would simply NOT stop going in the elevator until you threw yourself in front of them to make them stop.

Going from just above the runway to 16000' in 11 seconds in an F-16 was pretty cool.  Before I had my ride most of the time spent in briefings was what would I have to do if we needed to punch out.

All of that said though, F climbing that tower and F jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.

Oh - I also went up with the Army's Golden Knights parachute team... I was double-seat-belted in but was sitting right on the edge of the open door on the side of the plane.  Good times.

That's really awesome, I am jealous of your ability to do that.  I think I would be to scared to enjoy it.

100 floors up in a tower in Chicago and was disappointed that it wasn't just an open railing.
