How big are your balls?

By that I mean...

Skydiving? Not for a million squids.
Bungee? As above.
Rock climbing? As above.
Roller coaster? After a few pints, maybe.
Working off a ladder. Not a favorite hobby of mine, but I'm ok as long as I don't look down.

So what are your tolerances?

Re: How big are your balls?

I've Skydived and bungeed no problem, would be fine with the rest you mentioned as well. Wouldn't catch me down a narrow pothole for love nor money though, and I'm not even claustrophobic

I did a bit of caving when I was in school (bit being the main word) It was a choice between that or double physics. Winner winner chicken dinner. Or so I thought. Double physics seemed like a breeze compared to ducking under the Devils bridge in January in the coldest and darkest place in South Wales.

To clarify, I don't mean walking about in a cave, I mean this madness

To be fair, not a fan of any of them.
Did a sky dive off The Whitsunday's in Australia but that was purely and simply as a bet with an English Guy that was travelling with us.

I closed my eyes on the 7 Dwarfs Ride at Disney and a Harry Potter one a few days later.

I think I'd be better with Rock Climbing.

That's what I was doing. Crawling through flooded holes put the fear into me :hehe:

No gift shop and tea towel at the end for my Nan!

Skydive? How are you feeling when you're half in and half out with your legs dangling and just ready to go?
I'd be gripping to anything and everything.

This but under water Cave diving. I can not believe people do either but to choose to do into underwater as well. No way.

I once used the toilets on the Bob Bank.

Yeah, I've got the video of it.
My face is an absolute picture of fear....looks like I'm going to cry.

Watching the other passenger just jump out was the worst...knowing I'm up.

For some reason I hold my nose....then kick like crazy when we jump.

Just reading your description of this brings me out in a sweaty panic. I have issues just standing on a chair. Heights and me really don't mix.

I don't blame you Mate.
It's not my favourite either.
Did this ZIp Line thing as well over a Jungle Canopy in Honduras a few years ago.
The first one two were brutal...thought I was going to shit myself.

Re: How big are your balls?

I always wonder to myself "Could I die doing this?", and if the answer is "Yes, it's possible", then I tend not to get involved. Sky Diving, parachuting, bungee jumping, hot air balloons and helicopters - they're all out of bounds. Okay, I appreciate I could die walking down the street, or driving on the motorway, and I dare say one day I will actually do one or more of the above, but at the moment, none of them seem particularly sensible occupations. And don't get me on scaling super tall structures, and dangling from them with no harness....

How about riding a unicycle on top of a 256 meter tall chimney :yikes:

Not a problem at all with the riding of the unicycle at 256m. It was the fact he then decided to hang below the chimmney about 2 mins into it. Why? That is just madness!

Re: How big are your balls?

In my late 20s I had some illness which never got diagnosed but left me totally fearful of heights and not being in control at high speed. I am a terrible car passenger. I didn't drive for 11 years until the start of this year when I thought I'd have a go. I avoid motorways and am uncomfortable on dual carriageways, but am learning to cope on mountain roads. It'll take time, it's all about confidence. Bombing around my own locality is straightforward and it didn't take me long to start swearing at other drivers on roundabouts. I enjoy driving.

I can't use a ladder. I don't enjoy flying but I know I'm safe. I cannot use escalators, especially to go down. I had a panic attack going down an escalator on the tube about 10 years ago when I was on my own, got half way down and decided to make my way back up, clinging on for dear life.

Early this year I had a panic attack walking down a very steep slope for fear of falling.

Suffice to say there are caves where "rescue beyond this point would be impossible". The squeeze in the pic. isn't as tight as some....and the passage isn't 3/4 flooded. You know it's a bit tight/wet when the helmet is off, head on one side and breathing through the one nostril above water. The passage does look remarkably like the pics from an internal investigation though!

This plus an awkward gait when walking? Nil notice to empty the bladder? Getting forgetful? If so....see your doc.

Same here. The wife of a good friend had it and it went undiscovered. It was picked up by an optician. She had several shunts and operations. She now has about 10% vision left. Spookily their daughter had the same in her mid 20s though that was diagnosed sooner and she's not been as badly affected.

Re: How big are your balls?

Genuinely thought this was about testicle size and the practicalities of doing activities that require a harness.

Wasn't until I got to "rollercoaster" that I realised this couldn't be the case.

"Interesting" fact ......in Spain, people nowadays refer to having ovaries , as well as, "cojones" when describing a courageous act. Also heard someone referring to a fabric as being "person-made" in a shop in Brizzle the other day.

Back to the topic...... I can do the little rollercoaster in Oakwood. I could probably jump off a 10 meter high cliff edge into some water.

I ate some 10+++ chilli the other day called "Ultra Death".

That's about the extent of my bravery.

My stomach was doing cartwheels watching this, in fact I couldn’t get through it all. I used to have a great head for heights as a kid, o more though.
