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.

I have to imagine at some point it's too high to be scary.

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:
