Until my mid twenties I wouldn't even ride a roller coaster out of concern for mechanical failures. But then a buddy introduced me to skateboarding and I discovered the adrenaline rush of risk within the zone of what I could do. I've not climbed anything impressive but I used to go for walks in Yosemite that led to scrambling over and through large boulders and exposed places. I wouldn't do any of that anymore and now I don't climb into trees or up any ladder taller than my six foot orchard ladder. My balance, coordination and strength are largely missing now and I am not suicidal so my answer for now is no.

That’s the longest, drawn out ‘no’ I’ve ever seen.
 
Conclusion: People in Norway are nuts.

China a close second place with mount hua, china plank walk.

Below are the most iconic real locations.

1. Kjeragbolten, Norway
A giant boulder wedged between two cliffs — people stand on it for photos.
This location appears in the search results as a known spot where “two people stand on the edge of Kjeragbolten, a famous cliff in Norway.”
This is one of the most photographed “death‑defying” ledges on Earth.

2. Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), Norway
A massive flat cliff platform with sheer vertical drops.
Search results show “Preikestolen, Norway, two people stand on the edge of a cliff overlooking a fjord.”
People routinely stand right at the edge for dramatic photos.

3. Trolltunga, Norway
A long, thin rock tongue jutting out over a 2,000‑foot drop.
Search results include “hiker standing on Trolltunga.”
This is one of the most famous “ledge photos” in the world.

4. The Flatirons, Boulder, Colorado (USA)
There’s a video of a man standing on a very narrow ledge on the Second Flatiron.
Search results show: “Man showed himself standing on an incredibly high and narrow ledge of the second flatiron in Boulder, Colorado, USA.”
This is a real, non‑Photoshopped location.

5. Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, Wales
Search results show hikers “standing on the edge of a cliff on the Wales Coastal Path.”
These aren’t as extreme as Norway, but still real cliff‑edge photos.

6. Various fjord cliffs in Norway
Search results show multiple images of people standing on cliff edges overlooking fjords.
Examples include:
  • "man standing at edge of cliff at Preikestolen, Norway”
  • “side view of a man on top of mountain overlooking summer Norway fjord”
Norway is basically the world capital of dramatic cliff‑edge photography.
