I Am Wierd

Whenever I look down from a high place I think "JUMP OFF!", then I move away. And no I am NOT suicidal.

I know it isn't just me.

I once had a job filling a gap between the twelth and thirteenth floor of a building that required me and my helper to crawl a two foot wide ledge that was thirteen floors to the bottom. ( didn't wait for all the safety stuff, made the company $42000 for two guys for four hours). Anyway, while looking down those hundred thirty feet, I told my helper I thought if you could just do flips as you fell and could stick the landing, you would be fine. He just thought I was nuts, well, I was. It was a relly cool spot to sit there and watch all these little people walking around so far below.
Also when I work on a roof and sit near the edge, I too get a feeling like I could jump. Sometimes when it is two or three floor hiogh, I do wonder if you could do acrobatics and land with a Ta Dah! haven't tried it yet.

I think this is a fairly common reaction, and although I don't pretend to understand the psychology behind it, I can relate.
