My legs would be too shaky from fear right about the 200ft mark. Lol! I wear double lanyard harnesses and climb on metal structures that are about 150ft regularly, but no way would I want to climb any higher than that. Specially without protection. Even with a harness, it would hurt like hell, not to mentioned the fact that if you don't have the little "standing straps" and are still concious (don't smack your head on something)to hook your feet through and stand on them, the lack of blood flow to legs from harness cutting circulation would make the blood toxic. At least that's what they tell you during training.
Lol! I'm not saying is more or less dangerous, just that my knees would be like jelly if I looked down while being up any higher than that. As for bungee jumping, I haven't tried it and have no desire to. Girls that have been with me freak out when they see the rush it is to fly down the road on a busa, but laugh at me at the same time as they know I won't get on a roller coaster or do any other "adrenaline triggering" activity.Lol!
So, 150' is ok...but anything else is too dangerous! Hahaha
I think after the first couple stories, 20' or so, the sudden stop after the fall usually kills you anyway...so go on up higher, you're good!
I've bungee jumped from 150', and aside from a longer free fall, I don't think going any higher makes any difference...you just have more time to think as you fall.

Yeap! I know it sounds weird. Believe it or not, before starting this job, I couldn't even look down from a second floor balcony without my knees getting shaky. The first time I had to climb up at work, I got so sick that I just dropped on the platform (the floor is just grating so you can look straight down), held on to and I-beam, closed my eyes and kept telling myself: "dude, man up and get your ass up. This is a good job, don't let your fear screw it up! I'm glad nobody saw me and after several months I got better at dealing with heights. Who knows, maybe if I climbed one of these towers like in the video, I would handle it a lot better than I think, but I'm in no rush to test that out. Lol!I know man, we all have our thing.
Me, I Hate needles!
I would literally rather hacksaw my forearm and bleed in a bucket than get stuck...really.
Especially to see them take 3 viles of blood, put a test stick in one, use as much blood as they could've gotten from a finger prick, and then throw all 3 viles away. Wtf!?
Roller coasters, the speed is great, heights are fine, but the older I get the more I hate free fall. I can't breathe til my guts drop back out of my throat.
But, not being bothered at 150' in the air, but not liking anything higher, I haven't heard of that one before.
You're actually braver than most anyone who doesn't like heights.
She: "So, what did you do today?"
He: "I changed a light bulb"
She: "That's all?"
He: ”Yes, ” I filmed it, look……

I got so queasy watching that that my legs started to hurt.I didn't mind heights when I was young but now I can't handle them without my gut trying to sink to my knees.
Some people like working with heights, some want to be at or below sea level.
