I have a deathly fear of heights. When I went to the CN tower, I told my friends that if they even touch me while I'm near the glass floor, I'd punch them the fuck out. I can't walknear the edges of rooftops. Just the other day, I was on a ladder , climbing up 20 feet, and clung for dear life after five feet.
But, when you're in a safety harness, that has passed the toughest amusement device restrictions in the country, riding on a machine that has been designed perfectly by multi million dollar engineering firms, and the only way to be killed can be linked to serious mental disability on your own part, you can let your fears run wild knowing in the back of your mind that the chances of you being hurt are practically nil..
