this is not a piss take and im not looking to embarass anyone, its just that everynow and then for work ill be on/under cranes or hanging from building structures etc and its no thing at all..

on a side note we have a service engineer at work who is terrified of heights, you would think a company that predominantly builds/services cranes would not be his first choice..

It's interesting, I think how controllable you percieve potentially hazardous situations decides wether you become fearfull or not.

I'm shit scared of heights and my last job was in HVAC, we spent a lot of time on the top of buildings on outside of plantrooms, on construction sites etc. Most of the time I had no problems but every now and again I had that freeze moment the earlier posters mentioned.
On every one of those moments there was an uncontrolled element that I hadn't quite factored into the ascent/descent equation. Usually a loose ladder* rung, or one not tied off, loose scaffold etc.

I'm sure there's more than a few here that are quite comfortable riding a motorcycle at over 200km/h but take the bars out of your hands at that speed and you'll be calling for mum, like Martybabe

My greatest fear is that I will develop an uncontrollable urge to start collecting Crocs.

* Studies have shown that height on Ladders exponentially increases the damage done from the falling height and a consequence increases the fear factor proportionally

i think heights are scared of them..

Which forum was that... ???

Death and taxes. 'Cause I know I won't avoid either.

Actually, being burned alive whilst trapped in my car or house qualifies as a pretty big fear.

Some of the stories coming out of NSW are truly horrifying...
