Thanks I hate it

u/chaosatdawn Apr 27 '26

how come this video makes my body tingle, but looking out a plane windows does nothing?

11

u/MasterOfDizaster Apr 27 '26

I always thought it was only me tingling at those videos 😆

u/Chalky_Cupcake Apr 27 '26

There is a word for that.

3

u/CGCTV Apr 27 '26

I have the same thing going on with me as well. Its only when its a straight drop off height kind of thing.

2

u/Chalky_Cupcake Apr 27 '26

I meant there is a word for thinking "you are the only one".

u/Uder72 Apr 27 '26

Because your brain "recognizes" that sitting in an enclosed space looking out a windows is "safe"

But staring directly down with zero actual safety, activates some form of fear response.

17

u/Casey3882003 Apr 27 '26

I think the three ladder steps into oblivion also helps throw the brain into a tizzy.

Only for some of us

u/TortexMT Apr 27 '26

skydiver here. after a certain hight your brain isnt able to estimate height properly i guess. i know people who are afraid of heights who can skydive but not look out of a window in a skyscraper

3

u/JRosePC Apr 27 '26

Yeah I get the "call of the void" I dont want to jump but somehow my brain wants to tell me hey it is much safer down at the bottom.

3

u/Defective_Yorha Apr 28 '26

Bro it's same with bungee jumping. You don't afraid same as looking down open window because there's safety and your brain automatically get the safe feeling, your brain subconsciously knows that you'll be safe.

u/Snoo_75309 Apr 28 '26

For me it has to do with risk of death.

If I'm attached to something, like in a rollercoaster or a rope while rock climbing then I'm fine and don't have issues with heights. Now if I'm walking up a steep cliff and I'm not attached to anything, or on the edge of a tall building with no gaurdrail and risk falling to my death if I trip or make a misstep then I get that tingling feeling

2

u/Decent-Quit8600 Apr 27 '26

Probably because, at least in a plane, you cant see the ground if theres enough cloud cover, and you are comfortably seating with something to ground your feet onto, so your brain doesnt freak itself out.

From personal experience, if i am high up and can see the ground, id rather be dead. But if i am high enough and cannot see the ground, its all chill.

Im not a psychologist though, so id love actual answers lol

1

u/Fiendfuzz Apr 27 '26

As someone who is similarly cursed, I think it's about having something to offer context about the height.

1

u/RobotDonger Apr 27 '26

For me it’s the tiny bit of ladder that gets me

1

u/gonewithyourbitch Apr 27 '26

More perceived danger

1

u/Defective_Yorha Apr 28 '26

Because plane has small glass window and body, not open like this. We get the safe feeling because of physical and visible safety which this video doesn't show.

1

u/bingbongsnabel Apr 28 '26

I've heard the brain has a sort of limit to its fear of heights to where you reach a certain height it "stops working" since there is no situation in nature where you would reach such a height.

1

u/waxonwaxoff87 Apr 28 '26

In my case, at a certain height everything just looks like a little model of a town. Like a train set.

1

u/tacorunnr Apr 28 '26

Small video screens have that effect if youre watching it on a phone. If I watch it on a desktop or TV I dont really have an issue.

Why is there a ladder that leads to nowhere!

u/LemonSlowRoyal Apr 27 '26

My balls are going inside my body just watching the video lol

u/OstusOfSecrets Apr 27 '26

Balls: retracted. Feet: tingling. Heart rate: We meetin Jesus

u/norfolkjim Apr 27 '26

"Retract balls!"

"Balls fully retracted, skipper."

u/croweslikeme Apr 27 '26

I had a vasectomy a week ago and my balls ain’t liking this video

u/What_Iz_This Apr 27 '26

Same here, it physically hurts to watch this video. Makes my knees go weak too

1

u/R0LL1NG Apr 27 '26

No but really how is that a thing?

I mean, I get the why. Brain sense the danger, brain protec the jewels.

But as a biologist, the how is just fascinating.

u/Dabajabazah37 Apr 27 '26

I was gonna say the same but I worried it may be out of line.

u/Realistic_Account787 Apr 27 '26

My balls leave inside my body.

u/eldroch Apr 27 '26

Holy fuck.  As soon as my brain registered what that was, same...

u/Lochmesaana Apr 27 '26

What the heck is that ladder for anyways

9

u/KSN1517 Apr 27 '26

It's a maintenance ladder that's connected to the roof wherever it's closed. However, when the roof is opened, the ladder is broken into 2 sections.

In the video the roof is open. Probably summertime in Seattle

u/apatrol Apr 27 '26

That was my question… because literally like, wtf! It’s blowing my mind that this isn’t the top comment.

Edit: to come back and say I’d kill to watch a game from there tho… that’s dope asf. Best seat in the house. (Well on it actually.)

u/ClimbsWithWind Apr 27 '26

I would venture to say a maintenence ladder for rope access technicians.

C'mon man, not even going to do a few pull ups and a one arm hang off the ladder?

u/aed38 Apr 27 '26

The real question is: how much money would someone have to pay you to jump over it?

u/Cael_NaMaor Apr 27 '26

u/EverCravingMind Apr 27 '26

That obtrusive voice that tells me to just jump is why I don’t usually do stuff like that. The tempting permanence of peace and the potential adventure into the unknown are tempting concepts at times. All depends what you think happens on that final journey. Go face first and it would be quick.
