        Man, I usually don't have any problems with heights at all, but the perspective in the first pic does make me choke a little bit.

          I used to have some pretty crazy ones similar to that on my computer but I deleted them.

              Are you sure? Because an article in flying magazine spells it as acrophobic too.

                Not to be an Ass but "Agoraphobic" means fear of public places

                        You'd be lying if you said the first image wasn't trippy. I wan't to know if someone was above them holding the camera or if the camera was fixed to the structure.

                        I can imagine climbing up those mesh squares like a ladder it would feel like climbing air up to space, because the mesh is so thin and you can see through it

                              Those photos remind me of something...I'm not going to say what, but I thought that I had erased those horrible images from my mind until now...

                              It is amazing the effect that one short TV news clip can have on someone...
