People jump off the New River Gorge Bridge all the time, and it's only 267 meters.
(Wikipedia tells me that you can BASE jump off just about anything, since a tailored parachute only takes the length of it's own cords to open, but I think that's not the point)
If i have solid footing, no. I can stand on cliff edges and perch on solid railings without issue. It's only with uncertain footing such as a wavering platform or my own poor connection with the support where it's an issue.
So neither the CN Tower or airplanes mess me up. A high wire would kill me though.
Been there, done that... when I was 9. It was slightly more memorable than the Blue Jays game I saw on the same trip, and not quite as memorable as sicking up on the plane. :)

Date: 2007-01-31 12:46 pm (UTC)Of course, now I want to go to Toronto and visit the CN Tower (I had no idea it had a glass floor! That's fucking awesome!).
The last time I had a view like that was from the observation deck of the WTC in NYC, and it didn't look straight down.
