Fear of...

[buffalobo]

Life long fear of heights.

Tried to over come it in my early twenties by learning to rappel and top rope climbing. Worked for a utility contractor at the time and went through lineman training class as well.

Was able to climb with some confidence but never able to over come the fear that made me prone to panic if something went wrong.

Panic while climbing will get you killed.

Mis-step and 18' fall ended all efforts.

Not afraid of heights..... That does not mean I don't have a deep respect. I was good till the end. I could probably get up there...... Standing on the top holding a selfie stick with no hand purchase........ Yah..................

Heights, tunnels filling with water.

I'm probably less afraid of heights than I should be.

That's just stupid on steroids. Those people are not on pure air. Just put down the crack pipe and walk away.

The only way anybody should be up there is with a parachute strapped to their back. It is always easier to climb up then to climb down.

Cool video. 8 ft ladder is enuf for me nowadays. Did make me wonder however, what if it was your only way to safety & you had to get your family across. Scary thought.

The video doesn't bother me, nor do heights.

But I've got a crippling case of Consecotaleophobia.

I also prefer the fork and knife

Haha I thought "what if my cat got up there, would I go after him?" And couldn't come up with an answer.

In my younger days I worked for 10 years as a steeplejack-water tanks,radio towers,steeples etc. Didn't bother me much then due to eternal intoxication.
I doubt if I could even think about doing it now.
