Does anyone esle ever feel the urge to throw themselves off of high things. Eg I was walking over the Forth Road Bridge about a year ago and felt reallt tempted to take a run and leap over the barrier. The same goes for the railing on the 3rd floor hallway at my work. It's not a suicidal feeling at all, just a 'go for it' feeling.

This.
And yeah.
Ever since I did a bungy jump I get these kinda thaughts.
this is actually an extremely common phenomenon
Why though, I hate/love this feeling.
Anytime high up, it gives the shivers to look down but at the same time I want to jump!
I'm pretty sure this is one of the most common reasons for a fear of heights. You have that little voice in the back of your head saying "I'll be fine as long as I don't hurl myself off the edge like a madman. But what if I did?"
Yes, but i'd have to use a harness at a couple of points, ironically at the bits that don't have wire next to it...
It looks similar to the Ria Firata (sp) in the Dolomites which I really want to do as well.
Spain is full of stuff like this however. They rarely re build things like we do in the UK (which is usually a good thing) and just stick a sign/easy barrier across the entrances.
