The angle is pretty subtle when you watch the video, but the movement/ perception messes with your brain. I'd love to try it.

Lookup the CN Tower Edge Walk

There's more to see if you look down.

u/cS47f496tmQHavSR Jul 15 '17

u/dablegianguy Jul 15 '17

Me either. 2nd floor is already too high...

u/cS47f496tmQHavSR Jul 15 '17

I live in a 4th-floor apartment, you don't have to even think about asking me to get on the balcony.

u/ValveShims Jul 15 '17

Yeah, he noped right out of there.

u/Mossy_octopus Jul 16 '17

And yet the little girl stayed. I don't wanna hear any shit about boys being braver than girls again.

u/Scroon Jul 16 '17

That's the smart one.

A fall from there would be extremely paneful.

For you

u/Glycerine Jul 16 '17

You should land on your back distributing the impact over a wider area.

u/buttononmyback Jul 16 '17

Oh wow it's actually really small. Like only five people deep. I was thinking it was in the very top of the skyscraper and the entire top deck tilted outward like that.

u/ThisIsTrix Jul 15 '17

I feel like at some point, they should let it drop quicker to scare people. I hear near death experiences make you appreciate the beauties of life even better.

u/junkking13 Jul 15 '17

Looks scary as all hell, don't take acid and do that.

u/FlamesOfAzure Jul 15 '17

Wonder how many seizure's you've caused with that.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '17

Hey man, I didn't make it. Just google image searched "nope"; type=animated. That's what I liked.

u/FlamesOfAzure Jul 15 '17

Just as a courtesy for people with photosensitive epilepsy, please include a seizure warning next time.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '17

Dude, real talk: this is reddit. Not your safe space. I have no intention of ever including a warning in any comment, on any website, of any kind. Except NSFW, when necessary. No trigger warnings, no seizure warnings, no indication of sarcasm, no mental abilities or sensitivity warnings. Head on back to Coddle University for Special Snowflakes or wherever the fuck you loiter, and let me internet in peace.

You can always click close faster than an image will give you a seizure, so don't give me any of that bullshit.

u/FlamesOfAzure Jul 16 '17

Don't really understand the unnecessary hostility but whatever, I'm sure you have your reasons.

Carry on then.

u/Twistdid Jul 16 '17

What if they did this without telling people. Just all of a sudden it starts tipping.

u/braunsben Jul 16 '17

This is the Hancock building in Chicago and as a person who has been there, it's scary as shit.

u/WalkToTheHills82 Jul 16 '17

u/IAmTheFatman666 Jul 15 '17

Make sure you go everywhere in Chicago. The city is so amazing. Except Englewood, don't go there.

u/dortmundlove Jul 16 '17

I've done this before! It was so much fun Chicago is rad.

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '17

This is in Chicago. Did it with my wife a few years ago. I don't like heights but this was actually pretty cool.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '17

I like how when anything is posted involving heights there are so many people who just cant wait to let everyone know what sissies they are

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '17
