No, scared of heights.
So am I, but I'm sure that if you fall from 12 MILES that you won't mind much by the time you hit the ground
I'd do it. I wouldn't want to be the first though.
Imagine that thing coming down

Twelve miles of falling, you would mind a lot. Think about your 19 year old thigh-gapped girlfriend you'll never see again.
Pizza.
Other things that matter.
Tons to think about while you plummet.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) has a scene in which a space elevator on Mars is disconnected from its counter weight and collapses. It's length was more than the circumference of the planet, so the shaft fell and wrapped around the planet in a huge rope of fire. Really cool scene, even just reading it. Can't imagine what the special effects in a movie (let alone the real thing) might be like.
