The title text says to not click on the wing. The implication is that if you did click on the wing you would, similarly, end up sitting outside on the wing. Even if you were able to hold on, this would put you above the Death Zone, which is at 7 km (See the ''[[what if? (blog)|what if?]]'' article ''{{what if|64|Rising Steadily}}''). Standard cruising altitude is {{w|Stratosphere#Aircraft_flight|10 km}} (30-39,000 ft.). It would be an unpleasant death, as the air is so thin that you actually ''lose'' oxygen to the air (as explained in the mentioned what if?).
