For 38 years I have flown upright and inverted in fixed wing, helicopters and gliders and never had an irrational moment. I have even thrown myself out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane, yelling a happy native american warcry, without the slightest hesitation. Ask me to climb a ladder a few feet, however, and I turn into a gibbering wreck! I hate walking on narrow cliff paths and as for treading on that glass floor at the top of the refurbished Blackpool Tower - No Way!
The way the human mind works is sometimes mystifying.
Anyone else relate to this or am I in a minority of one?
