Hello rifters,
I've always had a fear of heights, so spending time in the rift on the coaster or doing jumps in rift racer has been giving my quite a thrill.
I've been on holiday recently and went on a zip line across some waterfalls, a bit like this;
Very strangely, I didn't feel any kind of fear or heights or vertigo or anything really. I'm quite certain that if I'd done this in the past, I would have felt quite giddy.. but I didn't feel anything!
Has anyone had any similar experiences?

It is the same thing with paragliding. Many people who are afraid of heights have no problem with dangling on a parachute. For most, the fear rather comes when standing close to a cliff.

I second that, i have no problem paragliding, i feel safe, i know the wings hold me, they are part of me.
But standing somewhere in the mountains close to a cliff without my wings attached, i really dont like
the feeling 😮 i'm not sure if that can be cured, its inside our brain for self protection.
