This is me at the Trapeze School of New York just before I totally let go of the bar and came crashing down into the surprisingly rough-netting. I am not afraid of heights, but I'm afraid of losing control. Ok, so climbing 23-feet in the air on a rickety ladder before standing on a platform about to swing on a trapeze and just looking down is pretty frightening. Still, I thought I was stronger than this. I managed a second attempt where I just swung for a little while. That was fun....ish. They opened a rig in Santa Monica, maybe I will try it again. I hate being such a wimp.
