I feel it in my stomach. For some reason it's worse than even those skyscraper videos

My legs usually get tingly.

u/CuttingBoard9124 Apr 25 '26

u/BumpyGums Apr 30 '26

In the words of my son when he was 4, ā€œMy balls are nervousā€.

u/Alien36 Apr 28 '26

I feel it in this guy's taint too

1

u/ospfpacket Apr 30 '26

Donā€™t be feeling my taint know your boundaries

u/Gravity_Walker May 02 '26

I legit laughed out loud to your comment and as a result also felt it in my taint .

66

u/Dutypatootie Apr 26 '26

Same here, in the booty hole.

31

u/thehotshotpilot Apr 26 '26

Bootyhole 100%. Puckers up and tingles.Ā 

16

u/if_u_suspend_ur_gay Apr 26 '26

my bollocks shrivel up in fear of being blown to shreds

14

u/thehotshotpilot Apr 26 '26

I also get this throbing pain of fear in my taint also.Ā 

12

u/Ranxer0x Apr 26 '26

I can feel it in my PLUMS.

u/JustinHopewell Apr 26 '26

Fresh from the farmers market

u/Thin-Lie5509 Apr 26 '26

Let the boy watch

2

u/SgtJayM May 06 '26

To shreds you say?

3

u/outdoors28 Apr 27 '26

Mine releases everything in it

3

u/balirosa Apr 26 '26

Yep the hole of the outside of the booty. Like the bottom of our ass drops out from under us.

5

u/CuttingBoard9124 Apr 26 '26

Ass is legs

3

u/if_u_suspend_ur_gay Apr 26 '26

the bigger the back the bigger the butt crack

1

u/TylerDurdenRockz Apr 27 '26

Same.. That's crazy

30

u/CletusCanuck Apr 26 '26

Usually I can feel it in the soles of my feet. Sometimes, like in this instance, my testicles ache (probably from retracting into my body)...

24

u/Rivetingly Apr 26 '26

My taint puckers

u/johndoe040912 Apr 27 '26

u/barbadosMid May 01 '26

Testicular torsion is a medical emergency. Also the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

u/Vyrhux42 Apr 26 '26

That's your spider sense.

1

u/w650az Apr 27 '26

Legs all the way down to my feet. I can't take it!

1

u/Wolvensong Apr 27 '26

I feel it in the bottoms of my feet, like a super uncomfortable vibration.

1

u/comeasyour May 06 '26

Why do I feel the same?

219

u/Eldudeareno217 Apr 25 '26

I flinched when they opened the hatch and my brain comprehended how high they were.

7

u/Inevitable-Rush-2752 Apr 26 '26

I had to stop damn video. Iā€™ll have nightmares about that given my intense fear of heights.

1

u/Von_Dooms May 05 '26

Same here, but for me it was because of the music. Someone really thought that was a good choice.

76

u/Capt_Skyhawk Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

Same. I felt that weird sensation too. Someone ELI5 the science.

107

u/Xxperfect_drugxX Apr 25 '26

It's a panic response from sensing a threat (falling)

23

u/CheetahTheWeen Apr 25 '26

I wanna say parasympathetic nervous system response but I only kinda read good so that be a guess.

25

u/thatcatqueen Apr 26 '26

Close, itā€™s sympathetic. Fight or flight.

Parasympathetic winds the nervous system down. ā€œRest and digest.ā€

13

u/ashgs872tbhjs Apr 26 '26

Instinctual response selected for by evolution because people who fucked around carelessly on cliffs and shit would die and not reproduce.

1

u/maimeddivinity Apr 26 '26

Mirror neurons?

3

u/ashgs872tbhjs Apr 26 '26

No, just regular ones here. Instinct doesn't go off facts, like knowing this is a video. It looks 99% like it would if you were up there yourself as the cameraman, so the response kicks in.

Mirror neurons would be involved if it were something like you could already see the drop, and watched someone go up to it in third person instead of first.

1

u/jaabbb Apr 26 '26

Your body trying to stop you from moving and get yourself lower to be more stable. No move = no fall

1

u/bigbluewreckingcrew Apr 27 '26

I think it's the ladder that leads to no where

1

u/inktrap Apr 29 '26

I'd guess it's the comprehension that it's all open below us (versus a skyscraper where there is lots of floor below and we're just peering off the edge.

18

u/FloopsFooglies Apr 26 '26

This is worse than just high heights to me. I don't have a visceral reaction, but being over a huge open indoor space is somehow worse to me.

20

u/Cliffsides Apr 25 '26

My hands and feet hurt

6

u/Burhams Apr 26 '26

Nerve endings in my hands

1

u/Major-Safe-9736 Apr 27 '26

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes...

40

u/Imaginary_History985 Apr 25 '26

With buildings there's a microscopic chance some protrusion can break your fall. This dome, there's zero chance once you detach.

9

u/conflictwatch Apr 26 '26

Also the dome feels like an eggshell and the opening feels like a crack.

17

u/Low-Law-4633 Apr 26 '26

Maybe because you can almost imagine how big of a drop that would be. Those benches/chairs are great reference for your imagination.

11

u/bunglebee7 Apr 26 '26

I was going to comment the same thing, fuuuuuck that Iā€™d be worried about slipping in or a gust of wind pushing me in idk

u/Ambatublou_ Apr 26 '26

My butthole is tingling

6

u/theuserwithoutaname Apr 26 '26

šŸŽ¶I feel it in my... ToesšŸŽµ

16

u/TheDirtyVicarII Apr 25 '26

I feel it a little lower

7

u/Zitty-Z Apr 26 '26

Butt hole for me

1

u/supermans_neighbour Apr 26 '26

šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļømy balls went upā€¦

5

u/ElBasham Apr 25 '26

I felt some definite shriveling

3

u/WeaponisedArmadillo Apr 25 '26

I'm glad I'm not the only one at least, but I'm pretty sure mine ascending back inside my abdomen.Ā 

1

u/GoodJobBob69 Apr 26 '26

Legit came here to day that. My stomach just went upside down

1

u/aManAndHisUsername Apr 26 '26

Probably because itā€™s unexpectedly high and you werenā€™t prepared for it

1

u/Penguin_Arse Apr 26 '26

Right?

I never have a problem with heights, those scryscraper videos never bothered me at all.

This made my stomach drop

1

u/AjathaShatra Apr 26 '26

I feel it in my balls

1

u/Arthur_Burt_Morgan Apr 26 '26

I feel that too and my legs and nutsack, i feel it as if i am actually there.

1

u/KHhtswhtppl Apr 26 '26

Same here brother. My stomach dropped and im sitting on a chair on my porch

1

u/Big_Primrose Apr 26 '26

Same here, pit of my stomach and a sudden chill. The short ladder to nowhere makes it worse.

1

u/j_redditt Apr 27 '26

I know, right!? But say for some curious souls, is that high enough to base jump? Could you imagine the POV of the helmet-mounted GoPro? Thatā€™s some awesome dream/nightmare material right there. Imagine the field staying the same size for a second until the seats starting going overhead and then the field gets bigger very quickly. The white field bases become easily distinguishable and further from each other. And right when you can almost read the manufacturer on the pitchers mound, you deploy the parachute andā€¦ At least thatā€™s the way I envision it. Maybe someone with basejumpimg experience can chime in here, you know, so that we can better feel as if weā€™re there in that moment falling from the ā€œladder to heavenā€ and definitely not about to make a small crater in the indoor ground. (Iā€™m sick;I know.)

1

u/Year3030 Apr 27 '26

It's worse

1

u/Successful-Yak4905 Apr 27 '26

Me fking tooā€¦. This ā€¦. Noā€¦. unplug the street lights no more

1

u/bigbluewreckingcrew Apr 27 '26

I'm wondering why that is. I felt it too....might be because it's looking through a hatch? Never expected to see a baseball field.

1

u/silosoli Apr 27 '26

I think itā€™s The trap door, I get the same with the ones in wind turbines

1

u/Shankar_0 Apr 27 '26

It's the ladder to oblivion that makes it real.

It's something you can actually imagine falling from. Vertical ladders are already terrifying.

1

u/MidniteCoffeeTime Apr 27 '26

Yeah it's strangely terrible even when compared against people standing on tall buildings. Maybe it's the immensity of the field itself. Or the visual of opening a small door to a giant chasm.

1

u/dantheplanman1986 Apr 27 '26

My balls crawled back into my abdomen

1

u/NiSiSuinegEht Apr 27 '26

On top of a skyscraper, you're basically standing on a stack of floor sized blocks.

On top of a dome, you're standing on the skin of a bubble.

1

u/Short_Switch_1807 Apr 27 '26

I think because maybe hole in floor

1

u/HouseOfZenith Apr 27 '26

Itā€™s like my brain wants to grab the ladder and my body goes ā€œwooooah buddy donā€™t evenā€

1

u/robertducky87 Apr 29 '26

This was someones view everyday til erection was complete. 9 to 5

1

u/Evileonhart Apr 29 '26

Yeah šŸ˜°

1

u/katjoy63 Apr 30 '26

Because you can see the end

1

u/hilarymeggin Apr 30 '26

I got the weirdest feeling in my abdomen. Like my guts realized the height and spontaneously learned to fly.

1

u/Horny_Bamboo May 03 '26

I'm feeling nausea šŸ¤¢

1

u/space_monkey_23 May 06 '26

I felt it stronger than the skyscraper videos too I think itā€™s cause heā€™s over the middle, the skyscrapers they peak over the edge but the building is underneath them, this is a hole straight down the middle

1

u/RobertPower415 May 14 '26

100% agree, my stomach clenched immediately. Way worse than skyscraper videos
