I swear if I walked on that thing, you'd have to get the paramedics to bring me back.
Acrophobia is irrational but it is VEY real.
I had to be escorted out of the Arch in St. Louis. Folks with me said I went pale as a sheet, skin got all clammy. They thought I was a goner.

One of my brothers is the same way. Heh...I can remember walking to town with him, and there was a bridge - just over the freeway - that he couldn't cross if he looked down. One time he forgot and caught a glimpse over the edge. We had to wait AGES for him as he crawled slowly across with his eyes averted. It was just sad.
And the little museum in town has opaque panels in the floor upstairs. He can't handle those, either.
And yet, he's pretty much OK with flying. I don't completely understand it.
