Actually, I dislike heights myself, but i did manage to watch it all the way through! I guess such places would be cordoned off in the UK (H&S, don't you know...)  ;)

just a couple of miles from us is Kinnoull Hill, not nearly as high - but infamous locally as a suicide spot - great view on a clear day tho :y
