I mean I have no problem up to 3m standing on the edge of something unsecured...but when I helped a friend of mine building the roof of his house which was 5-6m high, unsecured, I started sweating on the edge and had to go back. Standing on top of a skyscraper inside or outside with distance to the edge or a fence and leaning over the fence is ok but already with a uncomfortable feeling coming up.
Skydiving and Bungeejumping is not a big issue, due to the fact that you dont have to thrill and punish yourself on the edge a long time and can jump quickly, after the jump it's fine.

And this stuff is...I dont know how to say, from my point of view a mixture between crazy/insane absolute not possible for me, but if these guys find their freedom an satisfaction in it, I would accept but never do it on my own:

Or it would be a long adaption phase...if you'll survive it
