I hate to admit it,but I am extremely scared of heights. My job requires me to climb ladders everyday. I have to constantly remind myself "I'm doing this for bike money...and rent...and groceries...'''. I didnt make it more than 45 seconds into the video. You are a bigger man than I!

I have a friend that is so scared of heights, she won't go up the ladder to the attic to get her luggage down! She went skydiving with me, and was hooked! She jumped three more times, once while on vacation in Hawaii. :)

Skydiving would be sweet, but what I really want to try is jumping with one of those wing suits!

2:37 of the first video.  Is that a camera trick or can you really see the curvature of the earth?  If so, what the heck are they jumping from, a high altitude weather balloon?

You can see the curvature of the Earth from the typical jump height of 13,500ft, but it's nowhere NEAR as pronounced as that. The curvature you're seeing is definitely the result of using the wide angle lens, probably around 10-17mm in 35mm format.

What you actually see is just the slightest curve, but it's noticeable.
