The fear of heights is actually the fear of going momentarily insane in throwing one’s self over the precipice.

You are SO right.

A friend of mine was an Air Force photographer. Once he was sitting in a chair with a big camera in his lap, taking pictures out of a side bay door on a transport plane. He leaned out to get a better angle and the camera got caught in the slipstream.

As he was being slower pulled out of the aircraft, he looked down and saw the big red cross painted on a hospital roof. He remembered thinking, “Well that will be a good place to land.”

Then someone behind him grabbed him and pulled him back into the plane.
