Now I've got clammy palms, thank you very much!   :o
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The hanging car was just an accident.  I've seen it in a "parking" series.
The dude servicing his aircon is nuts- the mount would have been designed for the a/c's weight, not it plus him.
Imagine sleeping in one of those tents and feeling a tiny "slip" in the night as a knot tightened or something.
I guess the guy on the top of the RSJ was lowered there by crane.
And as for walking along that cliff face plank, and crossing the gap...

Yep, I agree about the car but it was part of the series so I thought I'd add it as well, but the last two really made me squirm, well really the second last one especially
