I'm still amazed he didn't become the world's first human meteor.

I would've been puking my guts out the whole way down. Heard on the news this morning he had lots of psychological support and counseling to overcome his fear of heights.

Betcha can't.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Training and good equipment reduces the scary factor.

I know some people subscribe to the "face your fears" approach to life, but if that is something that bothers him, it seems a little odd to set out to undertake the most extreme version possible. :confused:
