I don't understand why everyone is scared of the bridges over water. Your chances of surviving a fall to water are a lot higher than the chances of you
hitting straight concrete and oncoming traffic. 
Is anyone scared to drive over high bridges? (PICS INSIDE)

I'm really surprised that no one has said anything about the Golden Gate Bridge... that thing scares the HELL out of me. Imagine if there were a really big
earthquake and it snapped! You'd fall into the same waters that caused prisoners NOT to escape from Alcatraz. Hello!!!! SHAAAAAAARKS!

I've been through the Chesapeake Bay tunnel, and it TERRIFIED me. It basically combined my fear of tunnels and my fear of deep water into some kind of
Tunnel of Terror.
I tried to hold my breath the whole time.
Even scarier than bridges are those mountain roads that DROP OFF 1000 FEET with NO GUARD RAIL...It took my family 4 hrs to go like 20 miles once because we had to go so slow. *shudders* I later saw that road on a list of the top 10 scariest roads in America. They weren't lying.
My dad's terrified of bridges, but he also insists on being the one to drive over them. He about breaks the steering wheel every summer when we go
over the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston. They've redone it now, but the old bridge was SO narrow!

This post is AWESOME! Some of these bridges look amazing.
This is my lame contribution: 
This is a bridge near my house, I'm not scared of driving over it, but I quite often have to ride a horse over it. That terrifies me, depending on the water levels its betwee 100 & 120 feet straight down into a very rocky gorge. |
