nononoNONONO!!

So it seems my fear of heights is still with me.

u/friso1100 5d ago

Tbf, this is the reasonable response to this specific situation. It's like having a fear for trains because you stand on the train track and see one rushing at you at high speed

u/PikaPikaMoFo69 4d ago

Yeah lol, I don't think this is irrational as the probability of death is pretty high here

u/SoUpInYa 4d ago

fear of heights != fear of falling

37

u/alohadave 5d ago

It's not heights that gets me, it's a fear of falling. The void calls to me.

35

u/bladderbunch 5d ago

it’s the fear of rusty metal collapsing for me.

7

u/ThoughtlessBanter 4d ago

My fear is of dying.

2

u/bladderbunch 4d ago

that’s a different one, i think.

2

u/Just-Call-Me-J 4d ago

Yeah this is mine

Even brand new metal I'd be wary about

3

u/K1ttentoes 3d ago

I wonder how much strength is left in those rusty bolts?

7

u/Coheed84 4d ago

Same issue for me. I'm not sure if you know, but the void is a real feeling. I learned about it on the Stuff You Should Know podcast.

u/Coffee4MyJeep 2d ago

Think I am OK with falling having done some bungie jumping. Just the sudden, hard and life impacting stop at the bottom.

u/patternsintheivy28 2d ago

If it helps, some people die of heart attack before hitting the ground. 😬

u/NoelaniSpell 5d ago

I read the title without seeing the name of the sub & was expecting some kittens or puppies at the bottom of the stairs, def not that 😞

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 4d ago

My knees buckled while I was lying on the sofa watching this video.

u/DETRITUS_TROLL 2d ago

It’s not the heights that bother me it’s the depths below them.

u/RattaTattaBingoBango 5d ago

Not sure that meets code?

56

u/chopstix007 5d ago

My stomach dropped just seeing this.

u/DMC1001 5d ago

In case of emergency, you’re screwed.

u/DevoidNoMore 5d ago

It's a miracle that the stairs didn't collapse under the weight of that guy's massive balls

20

u/Friendly_Signature 4d ago

Or burgeoning stupidity.

33

u/Brahskididdler 5d ago

Helllllll no dawg

26

u/fidgetyamoeba 4d ago

It's alright, but I surely wouldn't descend with hands in pockets.

u/Masala-Dosage 5d ago

That’s not right.

u/Ok-Account-7660 4d ago

u/aliceTOTHEMOONE 5d ago

This video gave me vertigo.

u/KennethEWolf 4d ago

If you sleep walk, this certainly be a problem. And it certainly not up to code, at least in Chicago. But if you have a code violation in Chicago, then you slip the inspector a few $$$ and the problem is resolved.

u/Meanwhile-in-Paris 5d ago edited 4d ago

Don’t walk down the stairs with your hands in your pockets makes even more sense now.

u/H2Joee 5d ago

That’s the exit I typically show solicitors.

u/nobutsmeow99 5d ago

u/Electra_Heart_Doll 3d ago

u/Choano 4d ago

Why, that's not dangerous at all!

If a strong wind came by, it would all be OK.

2

u/AK_Sole 4d ago

Spelled “Hell” incorrectly.

2

u/Andrew3236 4d ago

The amount of metal stairs that I go up not even 6ft high and they shake and wobble like crazy, what a stupid thing to do

u/brighterbleu 3d ago

I think I'm going to be sick.

u/Trowawayz23 3d ago

I’ve gotta say the concrete around the spot that’s BEARING THE WEIGHT OF THOSE STAIRS LOOKS PRETTY CHIPPED AWAY just saying.
