maybe i am, im not sure. watching people who are buckled into an extremely safe system who can take a step over a high edge without fear, that to me is sort of an irrational fear.
also when you see people step on plexiglass thats on a tall tower, that freaks me out as well.
for example, sears tower:
you know that by all means that is safe, yet you are still afraid of it. thats kind of irrational.
