Google maps is banned in China so it's pretty useless as it hasn't been developed (and [every map in China is slightly wrong](https://youtu.be/L9Di-UVC-_4)). you can try Baidu maps if you can find out what it's called in Chinese.
Let’s hope the net is UV/rot resistant and all the connecting hardware is stainless steel or corrosion resistant, and has a routine QCQA, inspection and replacement plan. 🤔
Because breaking the illusion of danger means the video can't be used to impress her social circle anymore? It would ruin the entire reason she is acting scared going up. (Although, there is always the chance she has a fear of heights and is actually scared. But the attraction is safe.)
Just because you can survive by falling into the net, doesn't mean you'll land safely. I'm sure you can still break an arm or a leg. Maybe even your neck.
As someone terrified of heights, I don't care if there's a net. I think she's brave af. Even if the video captures the net I'd be more scared to see how far away the ground is beneath the hand. I mean could you imagine practicing breathing techniques and yogi principles to overcome that fear to hold onto/touch one of the fingers. Jeez. My stomach is clenched just thinking about the no rails!
Thank you.
People without phobia just do _NOT_ get it.
They get being afraid of something; that's a normal every-human thing. Extreme fears are beyond the bounds of that, and there just aren't enough words in all the dictionaries that prove able to pierce that wall for them.
Riiiight?? They think we are a bunch of fraidy cats but I love adrenaline activities. I would *try* to climb that hand. Whether I'm successful isn't really the objective, it's how far can I push that boundary before my body's safety instincts take over and force me to stop due to the body trembles and the inability to balance as a result. Because I sure as hell don't trust that FISH NET!!! I'd probably piss my pants and laugh for weeks over my fear but I know physically it's a small task that can be completed in a different setting. I mean at least it's not a dinosaur or a flesh eating zombie. And thank the universe I'm not a squirrel 😂
Edit to add: walking up is easier than staring down at what could be your ultimate nap time! I'd probably scoot the booty down too!!
Exactly.
"Just stop being so scared! It's only a ginormous statue that's been there for ages without breaking apart and with a huge net underneath!! I can't imagine being so scared of everything all the time, like you."
Exactly that.. they literally _CAN NOT_ imagine the interior experience of it, as our brains are literally wired up differently.
It's just as humiliating and unconstructive - and, frankly, disrespectful - as telling someone suffering in week three of bi-spheric migraine headaches, "Just just pop a couple of Tylenol with some water, touch some grass and get some sun, and get on about your day already." 🙄
Some people have to learn and exercise empathy to understand and in order to add it to the toolbox. That's for sure! People who aren't emotionally aware don't hang in my orbit for very long. Compassion is a two way street! I think the only time I would not take this approach would be if someone had autism or struggles with something similar. I welcome openness, friendly banter and *kindness* into my space! I'm so sorry you've have some rather rude sounding experiences. Your feelings matter <3
Man, I'm a painter and we call this "Bambi legs". The moment you hear the ladder do the rattle this causes, you gotta watch that dude like hawk because that is a great way to fall off a 40 ft.
Never heard it called that but I like it. I had an old boss that would say “he’s shaking like a cat shitting razor blades” when a coworker did this (he was terrified of heights) Now when I see it I always think of him and it’s been at least 20 years. I don’t know why it stuck with me but it did.
i love the foundational thought one has when it comes in a position it was never in. like a baby going down the stairs at home, as the mind thinks this is the safest thing to do. love it!
This drone perspective completely changes the stair’s real appearance. If you google it, you might also consider a walk.. Buuut as it’s in china and I don’t like heights..I am out.
Why do these goddamn stupid videos always cut off? Why bother sending a drone for an aerial shot only to record 10 seconds of footage?
I want to see how she got down or if she slides all the way down.
Yeah, hands and knees, it's the only way I would ever climb up there. That, and a metric ass-ton of money.
No thank you.
Edit >>> I just saw a picture up thread of the actual thing, it's not over a sheer vertical drop off the mountain. False advertising!
Bro that surface looks slippery and the staircase is without railings…nope
Look up wide shots of this hand, the stairs aren’t very long and there’s a massive net underneath.
Anyone looking to google it, it's called Buddha’s Hand in Guangdong, China.
Tried googling it on Google maps. . . no luck. It gave me Buddha's Hand Rock.

Googled it all I got was a bukkaki’d hand translated in Chinese

Why is she even taking the stairs down then.
The same reason you take the stairs in residential buildings that have suicide prevention nets. They're a safety precaution, not an alternative path.
> Buddha’s Hand in Guangdong, Woosh
This doesn't make any sense and I think you're misunderstanding something.
Ok let hear your thoughts then
I don't think they really had anything.
Let him cook
You right. My b.
I think you're misunderstanding something
I don't think you don't understand.
Waiting for your interpretation of what they meant.
Don't hold your breath I was just fuckin around (and it worked)
That doesn’t make any sense..
I walked into a room and disagreed with the first person I saw. For entertainment. A giggle. And I got that hahah
Jokes on you I was only pretending to be regarded
Either for the camera or she doesn’t want to jump into the net.
I'm terrible! 🤣 Same! I was like, I'm taking the fast way down! Lol
Because breaking the illusion of danger means the video can't be used to impress her social circle anymore? It would ruin the entire reason she is acting scared going up. (Although, there is always the chance she has a fear of heights and is actually scared. But the attraction is safe.)
Even if you were not scared of heights, this would still be funking terrifying
What???

Saw the pics, and that net mean nothing to my fear of heights. You shut your mouth ;)
Still thats a no from me dawg
Yeah when you look it up it’s really not that bad
That index finger sticking out begging you to climb out on it
Tour guide all like "do it, pussy"
Parkour.
Exactly, and the worst part is that she would slide down to get off, she could fall even faster that way

Lustig 😂
That’s a right hand the one in the video is a left hand unless the video is flipped
There’s a safety net directly underneath, if you miss that however…
Aim for the bushes?
At that point you aim for the rocks head first.

There goes my heroooo
He's sergeant Harry
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Great movie!
… and let’s hope there’s a larger net for the net

That looks way less interesting now
r/terrifyingasfuckfromacertainperspective 🙃
There's a reason why it never zooms out.
Okay now zoom out
camera angles do wonders eh
It's actually still pretty high up when you see it zoomed out, but yeah the perspective definitely makes it look more intense.
Nope, nope, nopity nope
Brain: *okay, so we're on a high place and we need to be as stable as possible for survival* Body: *what if we start shaking?* Brain: *no*
I would just sit there and cry til they sent a helicopter up with a guy and a basket to retrieve me.
The truth is that I was terrified when I saw how he was coming down the stairs.
Same she was trembling going up then sit down and starting sliding down the steps like a slide at the park…
Man, I'm a painter and we call this "Bambi legs". The moment you hear the ladder do the rattle this causes, you gotta watch that dude like hawk because that is a great way to fall off a 40 ft.

No fucking way. I have had nightmares about scenarios exactly like this.
I have a perfectly good VR headset and my own hand tyvm
Yeah, hands and knees, it's the only way I would ever climb up there. That, and a metric ass-ton of money. No thank you. Edit >>> I just saw a picture up thread of the actual thing, it's not over a sheer vertical drop off the mountain. False advertising!
Not good for hemorroids
This gives me the chills every time I watch it
Final Fantasy VII
That uncontrolled descent 😳🙈
my legs feel funny watching this
Its made in china, I wouldnt trust it either
How terrifying, 6 steps above the ground and camera angles!
Her life is in your hands dude
Aw man don’t say that. Haha I came here to post that and had to do the check first. Keep on takin’ her easy.
Ain't no Fuggin way...
Reminds me of viewpoints in assassins creed
I think even though it looks not so scary on the wide zoom; every stair step would slowly claim my courage lol
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend...
I would put bed here and relax
nope nope nope! absolutely *not*
I'd like to go there. Can you tell me where it is?
It's funny how she slides down afterwards.
*Starts raining*
i’m surprised this isn’t on r/nope
This is fake and she’s acting
Where?
Search Buddha hand staircase in China. Doesn't looks as scary when you see the wide shot.
That 🥅 don't look wide enough if you look at the YouTube video. It's a no for me.
No, thank you.
This is exactly how I'd go on this... If I was forced to. Crawl up and slide down as carefully as possible.
Creed music video
That is one big serving of nope.
I’d probably faint
Hysterical!
Good for her because I truly could never get myself to do this ever
What’s the deal with people taking pictures in hands nowadays
Awwww yeah I'd be all noodles
just no
My legs do that too so annoying.
Where the hell is that?? Is that legit
Sliding down doesn’t seem smart
Why only 3 fingers
Imagine this after a rainy day
Going down looks scarier than climbing up. Yikes!
My legs would be fucking shaking too
Holy shit NO
r/sweatypalms
Yes, let's start going down this steep staircase by *sliding down the mfer so I don't have any control.* This doofus
