Re: Dealing with Fear of Heights
As a kid growing up, I climbed the tallest trees in the neighborhood with my friends. No Fear then! As an adult I worked for three different municipal governments in the utilities divisions before going into truck driving full time. One of my job resposibilities was inspecting the water storage towers around the city as they were being built, maintained, or painted. This required climbing all over the top of the tanks with nothing more than a safety belt, or hanging underneath the bottom of the tank in a floating painter's chair while performing inspections. A equipment malfunction almost causing a 120' fall straight down to the pavement below just might cause one to develope a fear of heights for a while as it did me. I stopped climbing after that one!
Ask any deck hauler about how many times they've almost been blown off the top of a high stack load by a tarp caught by the wind!
