But I'm afraid of heights.

 

 

We are all born with a fear of falling and most people equate this to fear of heights. Most hang glider pilots go weak in the knees at the edge of a cliff- this is a hard wired fear in all of us. The funny thing is that when you learn to fly and are strapped into a glider you can easily run off the same cliff because you know you will fly-weird and wonderful!
