We often have a physical response to watching others in danger, even if we ourselves face absolutely no threat, and the subreddit r/SweatyPalms proves it.

Created back in 2012, this online community now boasts 2.3 million members who constantly share footage of people's stunts on tall skyscrapers, close encounters with wildlife, and everything in between.

So, we invite you to join us in scrolling through some of the subreddit's most popular posts and see which of them elicit a reaction from you. Let's test our limits!

One presumes this is where the subterranean flaming pit of punishment myth originates. Easy to see how people who already poorly understood the mechanics of the fire hole would come to that conclusion.... also that is scary as hell 😳 would not stand

A smart move. Lava flowing, especially by the sea, can have unstable holes and caves called "lava tubes". People do fall in.

    It was BA flight 5390. The captains feet caught on the yoke, saving him from being fully ejected but also disengaging the autopilot and putting the plane in a nosedive. One of the flight attendants was in the cockpit at the time and helped greatly. Checklists and charts were gone (1990s, those were all paper), the door struck the trust levels, the cockpit filled with condensation and noise. And yet the copilot managed to safely land on an airport he wasn't very familiar with. Also, the flight attendants at one point considered letting go of the captain, believing he was dead (his head was banging against the fuselage) and decided against it out of fear of that causing an engine failure. The crew of this flight are absolute heroes

    There is a really good documentary on Youtube by Mentour Pilot on this. I watched this morning! https://youtu.be/rGwHWNFdOvg?si=OAsX4I0ww1gt-9av. The pilot sucked out of the plane escaped with mainly cuts and bruises and a broken arm - he returned back to his job just 5 months later. And one of the pilots holding on to him dislocated his shoulder doing so! Absolute heroes. They did a perfect landing as well.

Heights and climbing on overhanging cliffs is definitely not meant for me. Makes my stomach go weird just watching others doing it.

    Clarification for everyone worried about falls: this kind of camping is common when doing multi-day climbs and the climbers have a harness and are secured to a solid anchor point. Not that they are not at risk of rolling over the bed, but they wouldn't fall far and would be able to get back on the bed easily. As scary as it looks it is not dangerous

    There's a place called Nutty Putty Cave in Utah, west of Provo, where there were numerous rescues of Boy Scouts and cavers. Despite that, a guy went into it in 2009, got stuck, and died after over 24 hours of attempts to rescue him. The state exploded the cave over his body and filled the entrance with concrete.

    According to Nathalia Gjersoe, who is a senior lecturer in developmental psychology at the University of Bath, there are various reasons why our body responds like this in the absence of any real threat.

    For instance, do you wince when someone is punched in a movie or squirm when someone is shamed or humiliated on screen? "These reactions are triggered by empathy: feeling the same thing we believe someone else is feeling," Gjersoe says. "Empathy allows us to put ourselves in someone else's shoes."

    I keep seeing this and others similar as “look how dangerous in the 60s.” I remember riding these well into the 90s at least. Both the single and the double chairs. Those things were utterly terrifying when the blizzards and winds forced them to stop the lifts for safety WHILE WE WERE STILL ON THEM!!! I remember being battered about in sub-freezing, blizzard conditions well over 100ft high for almost 2hrs due to dangerously high winds. We literally clung to the seat for dear life. Super sucky.

    "Brain imaging studies have shown that there is a great deal of crossover in brain networks when we experience pain ourselves and when we observe others in pain. For example, people shown videos of patients being injected in the mouth showed activation in many of the same parts of the brain as if they themselves were being injected in the mouth."

    So when we turn on footage of people cycling down incredibly steep precipices or dangling from precarious overhangs, part of our physical nervousness on their behalf is because we are imagining ourselves in their situation and how scared we would be.

She was from a foreign country that didn't have bobcats, so she didn't know. That she managed to just pick up a bobcat and take it home is wild to me.

    Another contributing factor might be the fact that the sympathetic nervous system, which coordinates our fight or flight response, may not differentiate that much between real and not real.

    "Visual information that conveys a threat might be translated directly into feelings of anxiety or urgency, which in turn trigger responses such as muscle contractions or increased heart rate," Gjersoe explains.

    Tamar Gendler, a Yale University psychologist, has proposed that we have two cognitive states for reacting to events in the world.

    The first is our beliefs – those things that we believe to be true. We can say with considerable confidence that the protagonist of the movie will be okay in the end and that zombies will not subsequently break into our home and eat us.

    I live in bear country and we had a hiker come up and thought it would be cool to take a selfie with one. Last pic he ever took on his camera was of the bear charging at him. Why people don't respect them for just how dangerous they are is amazing. This person with the camera thought it was better to start taking pics than to take measures to save the boy. Simply astonishing. I think it's blind luck they didn't get mauled.

    Family went to visit Crater Lake Nat'l Park when I was a bothersome adolescent. They slept in a big tent whilst I unrolled my sleeping bag out under the stars. Sometime around oh-dark-hundred hours I was awakened by bears rattling nearby trash cans. Then a little shadow passed over me, and then another, and then a BIG shadow. I surmised that two bear cubs and their mama had leapt over me. Yikes!

    I have an irrational fear of being eaten by a bear. (It's irrational because I'm never really in a situation to encounter a bear. I live in a city.) They don't kill you before eating you. This would be absolutely terrifying. I'm so glad everyone was okay.

    Despite their often large and hairy appearance, huntsman spiders are not considered to be dangerous spiders. As with most spiders, they do possess venom, and a bite may cause some ill effects. However, they are quite reluctant to bite, and will usually try to run away rather than be aggressive.

    Huntsmen are actually pretty timid. It's the size and speed that makes them seem scary. They will bite as an absolute last resort if they can't simply flee. I love them, they have furry butts and sweet little faces and the badge huntsman even has lil yellow eyebrows!

    The second cognitive state, Gendler suggests, is our 'aliefs.' These states are triggered by associations, instead of consideration, and can be either conscious or unconscious. We then feel uneasy even though there is no direct threat to us.

    You know, all my life, I have been a severe acrophobe. Even looking off of a third floor balcony can make me *really* uneasy. Funny thing is, I love the idea of airplanes, flying, and piloting. So, back in college, a friend of mine got his license and offered to take me up. My first time in a plane, and I was his first passenger, in his Dad's Piper Cherokee. I loved it, never had a problem. Later I took lessons ("I wanna learn to fly!" "Sure! What's your name?") and soloed. Flying in a plane? No acrophobia at all, especially when I was piloting. I figure it was because A) I was completely enclosed by the cabin, B) there was nothing physically connecting me to the ground, and C) I was in control. No problems, even standing the plane on a wingtip in a tight turn. Learning this was a great relief. But *THIS* stuff? NOPE, no way, these pictures bring the acrophobia back full force!

    I think you answered the question with that question. After reading comments on Instagram where so many bad things are said, I'm not surprised of strange perception and delusions that exists.

    "Although our aliefs may differ from our beliefs, they trigger many of the same physical responses as a real threat such as trembling, sweating, and anxiety," Gjersoe explains Gendler's theory.

    "This is why I sit rigid on the edge of my seat while watching the climber dangling from the top of the skyscraper with no apparent support. I believe he will be fine and that this video signals no threat to myself, but I alieve that some threat is occurring and my sympathetic nervous system responds accordingly."

    I guess we humans aren't so different from one another, are we?

    It really depends where you are. East of the Rockies, it's all black bears, and if you encounter a black bear without cubs in the woods, it's likely to climb a tree or run away. Bears in urban areas or around populated spaces like campgrounds are probably more dangerous, since they've been habituated to people and associate them with food - it's why they're there - but they're fairly omnivorous and they're really not very aggressive in general, so if you don't get in the way of something they want (food, it's nearly always food) they're unlikely to actually come after you. Around the Rockies, you get Grizzlies and that's different. They're more predatory, more aggressive and they're not really afraid of you. They're the ones people usually carry bear spray for. Still, plenty of people film them from a wide distance with no problems. "If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lay down. If it's white, say goodnight." (There's no advice for polar bears because you're pretty much dead.)

    Leave the bear to its own and most of the time the bear will leave you alone. If they don't make a ton of strange, loud noises (banging on metal things is good) and move away from them. Most bears generally aren't interested in us unless you're a threat to their cubs or there's something wrong.

    Whenever I see images like this I think of the limestone Nutty Putty Cave near Salt Lake City. Nutty Putty was created by water from under the ground trying to reach the surface, and has tight tunnels with twists and turns that require a person to crawl on the bellies to get through some areas. in 2009 Edward Jones was going to a section of the cave called the birthing canal and made a wrong turn. The unsafe side tunnel he was in was full of twists, drops and turns that required a person to crawl through long tunnels. The tunnel took a sudden drop and he ended suspended upside down and completely stuck. Rescuers tried to get him out for hours but the tight tunnels and soft limestone rock made it impossible to get him out. He died from the stress of being trapped upside down in a fissure. They were not able to recover his remains. The cave is now closed to the public. He was 26 and left behind a wife, daughter, and unborn son.

    A park ranger in Denali National Park gave a campsite lecture about the importance of bear bells (little bells you put on your shoelaces) and making a racket because load noises let brown bears know where you are so you don't surprise and scare them into a fight. He then said these things are dinner bells for polar bears. Polar bears are one of the few animals not naturally afraid of humans. Seeing one for the first time, they are often curious and will approach instead of being wary.

    The gates are spring loaded and should close on their own. It's possible that pressing against the other biner is the problem, but the gate on the right biner isn't closing on its own. It's also possible that it's an indication of a real problem. When you clip it onto something you don't want to have to keep checking it or closing the gate manually, because you may forget and end up relying on a biner with an open gate. If you fall on it you probably won't break it, but it may well come loose.

    Not in this case. This one is specially for "via ferrata" (fixed rope routes). It has two carabines so that you can safely pass the ropes fixtures woth one carabine always on the rope. The harness is the same as for regular climbing. Safety set: 966498f6b0...b0d1e8.jpg 966498f6b0f23f98f5bb9144bab0d1e8.jpg

    Camping at Eklutna Lake in Alaska, 1981, in my dad's cabover RV. That night, Dad's dog woke us with her special low "danger" growl. A moment later something started rocking the entire vehicle with 4 adults and my 4 yr old child inside. Apparently we didn't smell appetizing enough, because after a thorough shaking the bear left. Not much sleep for me that night.

    This happened to me on Thursday. Tried to reverse out of parking space but there was a little resistance. Checked handbrake was off, tried again. Same. Got out, sprawled on ground looking underneath car. Taxi driver who was watching me let me know while trying not to laugh that my bumper was sticking on the kerb. One question still outstanding. Why the kerb is there as it serves no purpose whatsoever.

    Saw a video for this. It is an emergency hatch so you can lower a worker in a special harness if they can't climb down the ladder. Tom Scott on YouTube tried it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWSckm8zTc8&t=11s

    Friend finishing school to work on windmills. Has no fear of heights. It’s a money maker if you can do.
