I know because I share that same fear. I won’t go closer than 5 feet, and that is on a brave day!!! LOL

I don't have such a fear, but when we were on the observation floor of the Sears Tower (now called Wyllis or something) my wife would not let me step onto the heavy duty enclosed glass platform that juts out the side of the building. I am not petite, but I am sure those are rated for a high amount of weight. Her fear influenced my behavior.

I don’t stand at the edge of the subway platform. Not from fear of toppling in but fear of being pushed in just at the train approaches. I know it is unlikely but it does happen.

I must admit that for the first couple of minutes of my one visit to the rooftop observation deck of the World Trade Center I was a bit nervous despite the fact that you couldn't get within 100 feet of the edge.
