[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 424153, member: 8"] Funny how that works. Most people who are in good physical condition can climb a ladder without being physically affected by the gravity. When you fall you fall, there's no difference between the bottom and the top of the ladder. Naturally, the height will impact the result of the fall. It's the visual aspect that makes one aware of the gravity, and the anxiety and insecurity comes from the question "will I be able to [I]resist [/I]looking down". We usually don't do that when we step on a kitchen ladder because we don't need to see our safety confirmed. I'm having a flashback to a childhood memory of climbing the stairs of a monument in Luxembourg or Belgium (just checked Waterloo on youtube but I don't remember it being that big or isolated from the city) and as kids we practically ran up the steps without thinking about our safety. We reached the top and then we had to go back (which is why I find it such a pointless activity) but when I started to walk down I suddenly became very [I]aware[/I] of the distance between 9 years old me and ground level. It's almost as if those many steps tempted me to voluntarily keel over. Maybe it was a Haunted Stairs (that would happen to me) and I think that's when the fear started. [/QUOTE]
