Patty Wagstaff's talk at Oskosh last year said that it is natural for people not to like the feel of falling.
When I learnt to fly I hated stalls. I preferred the incipient spin exercises in the Cessna 150 as the wing drop was less unpleasant than the nose drop. My instructor offered to demo a spin and I declined. Solo stall exercises - I'd lie when I reported to the instructor upon return - I just did those incipient spins that he had demonstrated.
I later got him to teach me aerobatics.
That was over 50 years ago and aerobatics is about all that I have done since. I still teach aerobatics, stalls and spins. I still don't go on roller coasters!
