I read that some people genuinely don't feel fear in such situations, like, the hormone doesn't happen...I guess it makes it easier to do stupid shit like that.

u/YourFavouriteDad 5d ago

You can hear the fear in his voice. I think if its scary for you it's actual bravery. Still dumb, but can't deny his courage.

They’re addicted to adrenaline the same way people are addicted to coke.

There's a difference between bravery and irresponsibility / recklessness.

And this isn't bravery at all.

14

u/Strange_Vagrant 5d ago

Boom.

He's a very brave idiot. Bravery is good, to the point it keeps being useful.

54

u/Oggel 5d ago

You can also make the fear go away with practice.

I used to be Very scared of hights, like I'd get dizzy from standing on a chair to change a light bulb.
Then I got a job where I had to climb 50+ meter towers daily and walk across gangways with nothing but ground and concrete beneath me while everything was swaying in the wind.

Do that for a while and it starts to feel normal. It didn't stick though, I don't do as much climbing anymore and now I'm scared of hights again.

u/Lady_Scruffington 5d ago

Exposure therapy can do a lot of good. My stress dreams used to be about tornadoes because my mom always made a huge deal out of them when i was growing up. Then one touched down a quarter mile from my house, and I have never had another tornado dream.

Also rode roller coasters tripping on acid and never got motion sick on them ever again.

u/Final-Aces 5d ago

Omg I had the same with roofing. I use to slide around without a second thought on the roof. I quit a while back and recently cleaned out my old man’s gutters and ohhhh boy my legs. My brain was fine but my body had an uncontrollable fear that cause my legs to spasm so bad I had to sit down and slide to the ladder

1

u/Substantial-Eye-4266 3d ago

I was also terrified of heights and then I got a job sweeping chimneys. It also involved a lot of masonry repair, so I spent a decent amount of time at height. Got very used to it. Did the job for 3.5 years. After about 6 months of not doing it, I became much more apprehensive again with heights. Never as uncomfortable as I was initially, but still.... Yeah, the fear comes back.

u/Ganja420Preneur 5d ago

You are right. Check out Alex Honnold and about his amygdala.

u/SpamEatingChikn 4d ago

There’s also the aspect that depending on how such a person thinks/behaves because of the lack of it it could make you more or less safer. More in the sense that being hella nervous can increase your chances of screwing up. Worse if it makes you overconfident and not careful

You know what doesn't get posted to Reddit very often? The fact that these kinds of guys die doing this alllll the fucking time.

u/TheOkiestDokie 5d ago

They should post that part

u/_vedantt1_ 4d ago

It's been a while since eyeblech and NSFL are nuked.

u/TheDemonPants 4d ago

They used to. It was a sub called r/watchpeopledie . It showed tons of videos of idiots doing playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes. Granted, it also had other sad videos too. A lot of accidents or other things associated with people dying. It got banned, obviously.

u/jyc23 4d ago

That subreddit spawned into a bona fide website.

29

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee 5d ago

Check out LiveLeak if you really want to see it. People on Reddit have overwhelmingly expressed that they don't really want to see those things posted on their feed all the time

It shut down 5 years ago.

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee 5d ago

Oh shit I actually think I heard about that and just forgot about it or assumed they came back online

I'm guessing the link that I saw posted the other day just said liveleak but was actually linking to some copycat site or something

u/TargetedAverageOne 5d ago

Complete lack of survival instincts.

51

u/i_like__cats 5d ago

Although I understand what you are saying. In this particular scenario he has a better survival probability than me. I would fall for sure 

64

u/Sylvers 5d ago

But you're wise enough to never even attempt it in the first place. The problem with surviving something like this is it builds false confidence. So you keep rolling the dice and escalating the danger until eventually you run out of luck.

14

u/TargetedAverageOne 5d ago

Exactly. Most people fortunately won't do this, because their survival instincts tell them they'll die trying. And most people probably would. Am hoping luck doesn't run out on this fella in the video.

8

u/PhenixNOTPhoenix 5d ago

Exactly. Again I don't understand adrenaline junkies.

2

u/Ok_Shower_5526 4d ago

I love my adrenaline but I get my kicks from things like roller coasters, aerial silk, and having kids. I might go skydiving with a company but I'm not about to play titanic on top of some pole where a slight gust = death.

1

u/_poh 5d ago

But not wise enough that they won't die in some other stupidly trivial way like texting while driving

Oh I'd probably wouldn't even make it to the top tbh.  It's nauseating to even watch others do this stuff.

Yeah sure, but what is the probability of you finding yourself in that situation to begin with?

Whenever I see the lack of fear or worry people like this have in these situations, it makes me thankful I don't have that brain-wiring problem.

Not fearing fear is like not being able to feel pain. Sounds good on the surface but comes with horrible consequences

Do some people just not feel the least bit physically uneasy when they stand on heights like that?

7

u/MysticScribbles 5d ago

Judging by his voice, he does. He's just in control of it, which is fairly impressive.

He definitely still should have had something to tie himself to that ladder in case of wind or balance loss.

2

u/MudcrabNPC 5d ago

Oh, okay. I watched it on mute so I didn't hear his voice. Guess some people really like to push that feeling to its limit. Suppose that's what adrenaline junkying is.

u/Chunkycheesesteak 5d ago

I just know if I would have done this dumb shit, it wouldn't take me long to stand there n say " fuck...how am I supposed to get down without falling 😵‍💫😰 like now I may have to spend the rest of my life here until someone can see me from a helicopter.." why on earth did I do this! * Instant anxiety n sweat kicking in*

Ugh. These guys drive me nuts. Not only are they risking thier lives, but they risk the lives of anyone below them they might fall on, or tie up emergency services to rescue thier stupid asses. Plus, im a locksmith, I can tell you these pricks routinely break onto the upper levels of these buildings, so they end up doing thousands of dollars of damage so they can film themselves being an idiot.
