I visited the Shard the other week and absolutely zero problems with height etc. However, the moment I have to climb a ladder and have a chance of falling, forget it. I cannot do it. This, is impossible.
It doesn't work like that - at least not for me. I'm a paraglider pilot, been flying for 20 years. For anyone who thinks paragliding is just jumping off a hill and floating to the bottom, the highest I've ever managed to get to is 10,000ft. I was also an active caver, and have dangled on a single rope 80 odd meters above a cave floor many times. But I hate ladders & I really dislike having to get up on the roof of a house. I don't think I could ever bungy jump.
I think I would have done what that girl did, because it's a once in a life time opportunity, but I would not have been looking quite so calm.
What a brave gal to look so serene, stuck up there, knowing that the whole of Dubai can see up her skirt!
Same here - 10,000` but i got there with a motor on my back:
What a lot of people don`t understand is that higher altitudes are safer - gives you more time to throw your reserve if it all goes wrong!
