I adore flying, yet hate heights. I can look out of an a/c window and love every second of it, but freeze solid ten feet up a ladder.
I cannot imagine how
terrified I would be, in what *might* be an emergency situation (smoke, smell of burning), suddenly finding myself on a wing and having to find my way safely off it. Even with bits extended, it's a long way down
Yes, I read the emergency card and yes I do watch the briefing and I actually know where I should go... but I can easily imagine that being there is not quite the same.
It would be an interesting straw poll on here just to find out how many of the regular commentors have ever stood on a wing in an evac?
