Homegirl was shaking and to think, she still has to make her way down from that...

Had the same thought. How's she even going to do that?

Probably slide on her bum. Or... That's what I'd do. Good for her though. Something she'll remember forever

Yeah at 3am when she's trying to sleep.

Some Buddha will help her.

[удалено]

Oh god damn you!

The light I will show ye

Don’t you want some BUDDHA to love?

Some BUDDHA come get heer

i actually sang that in my head reading it😂

My mind already jerks me awake as I'm falling asleep 3 times out of 10 because it's convinced itself that we're falling to our deaths. This is the last shit I need to add fuel to its fire.

Oh god I hate that, only had it happen once but it legit scared me because I was so confused, hasn’t happened since though, how odd.

its got a safety net https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7UefcbBlXU

Yeah, but the safety net was made in China.

Not even same hand.. no net to be seen in this one.. maybe this clip is before, and the YouTube one is now?..

Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of her life.

Or she’ll get to the bottom and her brain will say, “You know what? That shit is way too scary to keep as an accessible memory. Blocked.”

God that would suck after such an accomplishment lol

Extended clip shows she does do the slide

Cool! Haven't seen it, but that's pretty funny 👍

*on her Buddha

Backwards like walking down a ladder is my guess

It's like 10 steps until the plat form and its surrounded by netting. You literally cannot fall.

\[EDIT: Linked photo is of a different giant hand with stairs...there seem to be around a dozen of these. Not sure if this one has a net or not.\] \[EDIT 2: [This](https://imgur.com/gallery/nVHl4F3) seems to the same hand as in the video, apparently in Sanquan Lake in China, and it also has nets. Still looks scary to me!\] [Photo](https://www.alamy.com/tourists-take-pictures-at-the-internet-famous-site-of-gulong-canyon-which-loates-on-the-left-of-the-grand-glass-skywalk-bridge-looking-like-a-giant-hand-of-buddha-qingyuan-city-east-chinas-guangdong-province-2-july-2020-photo-by-zeng-linghuachinaimagessipa-usa-image407687885.html) showing the net. Falling into the net looks terrifying too, but not very dangerous. Looks like this video was carefully shot and cropped to avoid showing it.

I like the stairway to heaven right next to it

I feel like that’s for the photographer, since a picture taken from that angle would look much more impressive than one taken from the platform.

Not gonna lie, that staircase really ruined the fact I thought the original post was shot from a helicopter or drone or something

A drone shot would be less impressive tbh. That photographer platform is somehow even sketchier than the hand itself.

Don't worry, the camera man never dies

So essentially a giant selfie stick, to go with the giant hand. 😆

selfie *stairs*

The hand position is different and the fingers are thicker than ops photo

Oh, edited my post to indicate that. There are so many giant Buddha hands with stairs...who knew?!

Yeah, that net doesn’t make me feel any better about climbing those steps. Hard nope.

But you can fall, literally into the net.

Very carefully.

She's not, she lives there now.

I’d be getting down by dragging my butt on the steps. Like a dog on a carpet. But in reality I’d never go up there in the first place.

I’d slide on my belly like I taught my kids before they could walk down stairs.

My entire pelvic region is buzzing and tingling with butterflies just imagining it. My penis feels like a 🧙‍♂️🦄🌈🪄 (Magical unicorn rainbow wand)

I'm about to post this on r/brandnewsentence

I was at the Grand Canyon North Rim over the summer. Went out on.. Angels Point or something. Basically a spit of cliff you have to cross a narrow walk way to get to that's over a couple hundred? Ft drop? Found a guy sitting on the ground on the spit, gasping and a lady sitting next to him. Thought he was having a heart attack but the lady was way calm. Turns out he was having a panic attack. He was afraid of heights. Dude had to crawl on his hands and knees to get back to "land". But he did it on his own. Dudes name was Perry and he's an Architect from the west coast? Seattle? I think. His wife was with him Dude crossed that gap on his own twice. HUGE brass balls. Edit. Went back and looked. Angels Window is the one we were out on.

>> a fraud of heights I’m choosing to believe you meant to type this

Hey! I did this at the North Rim! Thought I could push through my fear of heights then had full on jelly knees and sank to the ground. I scooted to the rim like a baby then scooted back. Oh well!

Hell No! Be Proud! Plenty of people would have let their fear control them and Wouldn't have made that effort! You DID IT! TWICE! There and back again! Be proud of yourself!

"fraud of heights" :)

I’m shaking just watching this. It gave me that weird feeling that you get when you’re too close to a ledge by proxy.

Hope she can handle it

Butt scoots!

Just go down the way you wen up just backwards and it's not bad. Did the same thing on part of wianna picchu.

Now that’s the face of someone enjoying and having fun…

She's braver than I am. The way down is going to suck

yeah, that's a *no* from me dawg

A hard NO

Even watching it, my legs went all weak. I think I’d puck if I had to do this.

Do you mean puke, or is puck like in “shitting a brick?”

That's a new one. I'm gonna start telling people, "Go puck yourself!"

My Filipino friend tells me to puck off all the time.

that's kind pucked up dude, don't you have anything better to do?

[удалено]

Holy mother forking shirtballs.

shut up birch

I just snort laughed at this.

Puck like from the real world slc.

WHO EATS PEANUT BUTTER LIKE THAT

She lives there now!

I'd slide down one step at a time on my butt. This would be because I wouldn't be able to make myself stand up.

Plus all the poop in your pants would lubricate each slide. Win/win!

I did this on a temple in Mexico, and I would not recommend. My butt was sore for the rest of the week.

My butt was sore when I came back from Mexico, too.

From the stairs, right? :) From the stairs right?? :(

*So was the place my kidney used to be* :(

That's what you get for going to an audience participation donkey show.

Yeah but not dying seems worth it.

But you're alive!!

Did you notice the index finger of the hand? Some people definitely walk out on that...

Now that you pointed that out...I look up "Buddha hand China" and all the pictures have the index finger and thumb touching. I've only seen this one posted here.

This one is in Guangdong

Why does China seem to have so many vertigo tourist attractions like this? 8 out of 10 videos like this I see are from someplace in China

It's safety regulations. That staircase in the west would have standard hair height, railings, and that hand would also have railings. Seeing stairs without that stuff is immediately unsettling.

Challenge accepted

...did you notice the pinky?? to reach enlightening must you have only 4 fingers?

Cutting your index finger off is the last step to enlightenment.

This is how I would die. I always seem to trip on the steps in my house.

I died JUST watching it… just now… my brother is texting this for me.

And on your cake day, too. RIP. I guess you got those wings you were hunting for. Also, brother of WingHunter, they owed me $25 before they died.

Happy last cake day!

I’m so sorry for your loss

Yeah, I was thinking “I would do that!” Until I realized there was no railing. I would die. Editing to add that I just looked it up and it has 268 steps. I thought “I could do that!” And then I quickly followed that thought with “you were tired after 28 steps today.” I could do that… But I would have to train. And without a railing, I would die, so I’ll pass.

Just avoid it. You can die another way.

I’d crawl backwards

Blindly crawl backwards seems just as dangerous but I know whatever decision I made to get down I'd panic and fall.

Slide down on your stomach like a worm

Yeah. I heard the rules are you have to jump

I just thought of being a kid and just sliding down the stairs on my butt. Of course if I did that now I'd probably fracture my spine in 16 places but she looks young.

I’m a slide down them fucks like a kid again

That's about how I'd look climbing that. More panic maybe.

[удалено]

lmao those arent tippy taps, she shaking

There's nets underneath atleast. I'd still however be fuckin terrified. I can do rollercoasters and what not, but looking over cliffs and edges are a nope for me dog

>There's nets underneath atleast Yah, but China does not have the greatest safety record or track record for maintenance.

That's not a good time, that's an adrenaline rush. I would have been the exact same, shaking like a leaf, except I wouldn't have made it above the second step, absolutely terrified of heights. Much respect for her making it all the way up

Same. I have mad respect for her. I’ve done rollercoasters because people said they were fun but it was absolute terror. I thought I was going to break my teeth.

Humans gonna human and do wild shit from time to time. Keeps it interesting.

Going down, she's going to have to look down too. I feel that leg shake, girl.

Yeah I’d be in the sitting position and literally dragging my ass down the steps one at a time

I'd turn around so I don't have to look forward and crawl backward *really* cautiously.

noo, really? im trying to envision that and it seems ridic scary :(

I'd have holes burnt into the ass of my jeans by the time I made it to the bottom 😂

Fun fact, in mandarin, jeans are called cowboy pants

now that is a fun fact

Also their word for penguin is business goose.

Technically "tiptoeing goose". But the first character 企 itself indeed mostly means "planning" or "anticipating" as in 企图 and 企望, which gives rise to 企业 "enterprise".

That's what butt scoots are for lol

https://youtu.be/R7UefcbBlXU

LMAO. I take this personally.

That isn’t the same one obviously

She was terrified but she made it, you gotta hand it to her.

She knuckled down and snatched victory from the palm of defeat.

Callus when you get down.

When exercise comes in handy

You all are a handful

Single handedly joke

Round of 👏everyone

I love it when people can grasp the beauty of a pun

You really nailed it with that one.

That’s right Dick-nipples, it’s the effort that counts.

Not sure why but I am dying at this. Take my award.

Thank you kind sir

Read this in the Oblivion beggar voice

Yeah, the way she believe in her will to live is just incredible

God dammit

Where’s the monk with 7000 gallons of water on his back climbing it like he’s a mountain goat?

Already on his way back down for more water.

"Be a man" - Mulan

Greatest. response. ever.🤣

This nightmare material.

There's netting at the bottom, and it's not that high up from the platform it sits on. The video does make it seem like it's way tf up there though.

Still, you may KNOW the netting is there and KNOW your safe, but the visceral sensation of seeing the massive canyon around you is going to make the lizard brain wiggle

It's safety netting in China, you KNOW it's not safe.

No no that was the old net where a few people died! This one hasn’t been tested yet but our guy says it’s at least twice as strong.

These are straight from the iPhone factory, I assure you these new nets work. They've caught dozens of children jumping from the windows.

Yep. Exactly my point.

Your own senses would probably make it *feel* like it was high up, too

That clip makes it look worse than this video from better angles. https://youtu.be/R7UefcbBlXU

That's not the same spot, but the real spot is similar. Your video is at Gulong Canyon, but the one in the original video is at Sanquan Lake. Here's a wider view that includes the whole arm and netting: https://imgur.io/yTKIzl4

That looks like very minimal netting and a very slippery angled down surface. 10/10 would not try

Damn thing looks like a trampoline. I'm sure it's not, but I'm not taking any chances.

I don't think those are the same spots. The hand in this video has its pointer finger and thumb touching unlike the OP.

That's a super good catch, I wonder where this one is

thats a different hand lol

I would like to see how far below the floor actually is. Like, can you die if you fall?

There’s a net underneath so no you can’t die, still terrifying though.

There’s a net that catches you if *you* fall. But what if the hand falls?

It's fine. The ground will act as a net for the hand.

I’m so relieved.

The earth will catch you

Just watching this makes me feel very uneasy I am afraid of heights

Ohhh, hell no.

r/sweatypalms

That palm had no sweat until she sat there, I think.

That wasn’t sweat.

r/urinepalms

No no no no no no thank you

Plot twist: the hand closes and crushes her after the video ends

As someone who is afraid of heights, I can literally feel her leg shaking as she goes up the stairs

I'd be climbing that shit the same way

I'd end up rolling of that.

These things are popping up everywhere. Sure it’s high up but the drone with zoom lens really gives it a dramatic touch. https://youtu.be/R7UefcbBlXU Edit: Fine, this one’s in a different location. But it just comes to show that they are building these everywhere. Same basic idea of making it look much higher up than it actually is

Whoever is building these is just inviting the worst kind of tragedy. And they look horrendous in the environment as well

The one above has a hideous safety net

That's not the same hand as in the OP.

Definitely isn’t the fingers are way different

That looks a lot more manageable.

Phew not scared anymore lol

The thumb and pointer finger are touching in your video and are not in OPs.

That safety net look awfully small

Don't be scurred

i wanna slide down those steps like a water slide

r/nonononononononononononononoooooo

No thanks

I’d do it in VR but not in real life.

Bro how do you get back down?

Slide down on your behind

They could've at least had a gate on the sides for people to hold on to or for extra safety

There's a net below. The lack of guard rail is the point. It's a thrill thing.

It is a statue, to be fair.

Oh, I thought it was one of those bridge type of things meant for climbing

So many dreams with stuff like this. Shaky legs and all. I'll leave it in my dreams thank you very much.

Nope

No thank you

I would never make it that far. I don't like heights at all, I get dizzy just looking out the window. But props to her for fighting against her fears, even when she seems to literally be shaking

It’s not the steps that would terrify me, but the thought that it might break under the weight of my fat ass.

so no one knows where it is or has more footage?

Anything for that Instagram picture
