Thanks for posting this link, Andy. Not that I enjoyed it - made me feel a bit queasy TBH.

Same here, I was alright until he went outside and they said he was free climbing.
I have a great fear of heights, being near the edge of tall buildings and of deep.still dark water!!!
Some say that it is not a fear of “heights” but a fear of “falling”!! Whatever!
When I saw that i felt sick, my hands started to sweat and my stomach turned.
Call it a fear of what ever you want but to me that was just plain old, scare the crap out of you FEAR!!!

So not only does the wavey suspension of a Reno Magnum make you sick, the height of the cab does too!

I’m the same and I think it’s right about the fear of falling not the height itself. I’m okay at any height as long as what I’m in or on is safe. Put me in a plane at 39000ft and it doesn’t bother me. Put me in a cable car 2000ft above a valley, no problem either. Now put me 20ft off the ground in a tree and I’m starting to [zb] myself as this ain’t safe and I’m gonna do some serious damage if I fall. Similar sort of fear on some roller-coasters too. That point where they get to the top before going round the corner to drop down always [zb]s me up because it doesn’t feel safe at all being 500ft up in an small open-air cart with only an inch thick metal bar being the difference between life or death.
I’ve got a similar fear with large expanses of water as well, but if the boat is big enough I’m okay.
But you wouldn’t get me up that mast in the video for ANYTHING !
