Anyone scared of heights?

Maybe been done before but ... who is scared of heights?

I did years of paragliding. Could hardly look over the edge and then could run off it happily. Climbed out one Spring day to A100 in my deck chair suspended by dental floss below an elaborately sewn shower curtain. Flew fixed wings with no issues. Don't love standing on the top deck of a machine looking at the rotorhead, but can do it OK if I can stand on the machine and not a ladder .... Not so keen on flying with the doors off .... but otherwise no issue.

Suspect it's a fear of falling, not heights, and suspect I am not alone. And I can cope with a spider in the cockpit.

Thoughts?
