I have a huge fear of heights I believe it is because I am afraid of falling, being injured, or dieing. I was the most terrified I have ever been in my life and that was at the CN Tower and the other time in Grade 8 at leadership camp. At the CN Tower I was okay because I heard the glass was thick but what really scared me was when i looked down I felt like the glass could collapse at any minute and it also didn't help that there was a little kid jumping on it. I made sure we weren't on the glass for very long. When we went outside I was not sure if the cement would start to crack with everyone viewing I did not want to be there at all probably one of the scariest moments of my life. The next experience I had was in grade 8 I had to climb up a huge totem pole stand on top and jump of to try and grab a handle on a rope it was called the "leap of faith" I got to the top of the pole looked down and I almost started to cry I was so scared but eventually I got up and jumped. To this day I still am afraid of heights and still get shaky but I am doing fine.

Ugh, I share your fear, DJ! The movie Cliffhanger (terrible flick) freaked me out simply because of all the shots of characters perched on mountain peaks. Yikes!
