The CN Tower. Highest free standing tower in the western Hemisphere. At just over half a kilometre in height, it's pretty dang tall. Now, can you imagine hanging off the edge of the top?
Well, such an 'experience' is possible with their Edgewalk attraction, where they hook you up to a safety harness and then you practically dangle off of the top of the tower.
Many people are quite frightened when they go up there, but most of them manage to overcome it and hang off the edge of the building. I'm not going to lie though; I would not be one of those people. Not even to 'save face' would I be that high up, let alone outside at that height, not even thinking of hanging off of the building! That's just how strong my fear of heights is.

However, being a fear, it is irrational, and you can see this irrationality through my love of flying, especially in unpowered gliders. I am perfectly fine with sitting in a SGS 2-33A and soaring through the skies at heights twice as high as the CN Tower, but I would be shaking and trembling at the top of the tower. My explanation is that in a glider or plane, I have control over my descent to the earth, while at the top of a tower, one has no control over a sudden fall.
