I have friends in the iron workers union, they are high walkers that think nothing of walking across a beam 27 stories high. They have some interesting job stories.

Me and heights, nope, 10 feet is too high, I be hugging beam as the high walkers call it when someone freaks out. They drop and you can't pry their arms off the beam.


I wonder how they get the guy down? I don't do heights well at all, except flying in a plane doesn't bother me for some reason.

OMG...That made my stomach tingle just watching the video. I'm NOT afraid of heights, but I AM afraid of falling!

It's because you are not afraid of falling while in a plane.

Fear is healthy, being afraid is unacceptable.


If you fail to control your fears, then you will surely become a slave to them.

That’s why I tried skydiving. A faulty chute convinced me to stick with terra firma

That' true. That's why I wanted to be first in our rappeling class. I went from 80' to 180' to 220'.
I had to make,myself do it or give into my fears. I chose to do it!!!

Falling doesn't bother me, but that sudden stop at the bottom sure gets my respect.
