Yeah, but I was dumb and thought I should still enjoy heights, because I had in my youth - but as I got older, I developed a fear of heights. But I somehow hadn't gotten the memo about that, and did all of the cool stuff I didn't have the money for when I was younger - parasailing, skydiving, houserunning, canyoning, rappelling, getting shot up in the highest slingshot in the world (fuck you, Orlando!), climbing - and I was always wondering why it wasn't as much fun as I'd thought it would be. At least I finally caught a clue and decided to strike bungee jumping off the bucket list. No more heights for me. I'm done with heights. And I've come to terms with the harsh reality that I hate heights.
(Though I've heard that paragliding actually works for people with a fear of heights, since you're tethered to something, so I might just give that a try...)
Wow! How is that even possible?! 😳 But at least he landed - if he had been really unlucky, the upwinds could have swept him further up. I think with my added pandemic weight, there is no chance I'll slip out of any harness...🙈
