Extremely. My heart-rate shoots up, my vision gets painfully sharp, and my hands get all sweaty. I also begin contemplating ways to get to a safe location, and begin to consider who i would be willing to push off to save myself. Why pushing people off a tall building would increase my chances of survival i'm not entirely certain.
Most people who think they are afraid of heights aren't really afraid of heights, they are afraid of FALLING! (1 of only 2 natural fears) Case in point: Myself. 30 feet up a telephone pole on electrician spikes TERRIFIES me! 12,000 feet up under an open parachute doesn't even faze me. BTW the other natural fear is loud noises. (Makes sense when you realize they are the only 2 fears an infant responds to.)
Maybe, I wouldn't know since I've never went so high up as to tell.
...I have climbed a fairly tall chinnet tree and I probably rested there for 40 mins. When it started to get late it was then I got slightly worried so I tried to get down quickly. heheh
No high carnival rides, no climbing ladders above a first story, no looking over the edge of a tall monument like the empire state building. Nope don't do heights at all.

I also went to the top if the Eiffel Tower last year, but you feel so enclosed and protected that I did not feel anxious.
Kids have no fear...
All the more reason
NOT to grow up, huh ?!?!
