              I'm not afraid of heights. I loved walking on the glass floor in the CN Tower, that was cool!

                That was cool, but it was hardly scary...there's big metal beams running square through it, and there's walls around it. Now imagine how scary it would be if it were jutting out of one side of the CN Tower, with no walls around it...just the glass floor...

                  Now that I would have a problem with. There's a difference between being scared when you're in an unsafe situation and an irrational fear of heights.

                    Im afraid..... Its kinda funny.... Im clutching and grabbing onto a handrail on the 3rd story of the mall, yet I can operate in a De-Ice bucket 40 feet off the ground..... Maybe its the harness, but I get dizzy somtimes looking down from high places (like the hand rail at the mall)..... yet its never happened in the de-ice bucket.........
