What about motion, airsickness, and fear of heights?

Light Flight Service 3
There is no sensation of motion in a balloon. It is completely tranquil and stable. It is inexplicable that there is also no sensation of height in a balloon. Even the most faint of heart and those fearful of heights find the basket very secure and relaxing moments after takeoff. In 22 years we have flown hundreds of passengers who, before the flight, were absolutely certain that a balloon was the device specifically designed to torture them.

Some people actually start skydiving to overcome their fear of heights. It's not really a very good reason, but in some cases it does work. Fear of heights (vertigo) only really occurs at lower altitudes. Think about looking out of a window on the seventh floor of a building; that can be pretty scary. But compare that to looking out of the window of a passenger aircraft 10,000 feet above a city; not the same thing. Fear of heights does not apply in the same way for skydiving.

Sights Unseen Hot Air Ballooning
Ballooning is much different than standing on a ladder or high building. The basket sides are high enough to give a feeling of security. Everyone who has expressed a fear of heights before the flight says they became so distracted by the sheer beauty and thrill of flying that they never had any fear.

How do you find heights?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Height Article
Firstly I try to find quotes from stars about their height. At the moment around half of the heights on the site do have an actual quote said by the celebrity (or from their agency resume) attributed to them, the vast majority of which I researched. That doesn't mean I agree with them of course ;-) For instance, Danny John Jules might have 5ft 10 on his resume, but he's a little shorter than myself.

How accurate are the heights?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Height Article
Celebheights tries to build an accurate database, but you cannot rely on simply using official resumes or actors own declarations of their height, because invariably a good number might embellish the truth. Height in many cases is a best estimate. Even if you meet a star, your own estimate might be off, especially if you don't get within a couple of feet and the difference in your heights is large or you're judging on the street where subtle pavement differences can cause confusion.

What about the fear factor? Why do I fear quitting so much?

Quit Smoking
I have found this to be the number one concern among most quitters. In fact, fear stops more smokers from quitting than any other factor. When you understand why you're afraid to quit smoking you won't be afraid anymore. You'll handle the withdrawal period with authority and without feeling like you're going to be "missing something." Only if you insist.

What's to fear?

No-Scalpel Vasectomy - Dr. Kurt P. Helgerson, MD, PC
Skin bruising is common, and is harmless. About 2% of patients have more pain than they like, but with antibiotics and pain medications, this almost always resolves soon. It is more likely to occur if there's bleeding into the scrotum from a broken blood vessel due to over-activity; the less you move for two days after the procedure, the more you reduce that risk. If bleeding occurs, one half of the scrotum would feel thick.

Are the heights listed with shoes?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Height Article
No, assume every height as though the celebrity was measured barefoot. This isn't the NBA! I make no claim as to whether any listed height is an evening or early morning one. Technically I think your true height should be measured after you've been standing for about 5-6 hours. After that you won't shrink much more during the rest of the day. Early in the morning you will be taller, shrinkgage varies - some might shrink 0.8cm, others 1.5cm during the course of a day.

Persons who might suffer from motion sickness in a car or boat will not be bothered in a balloon.

For years, I genuinely believed I wasn't afraid of the dark. When Best Beloved said I was, I said, "I am not afraid of the dark," in deeply sulky tones.

Magic Carpet Ride Hot Air Balloon Adventures - Frequently As...
We have flown many people who have a fear of heights or were just anxious about flying. In virtually every case, they realize it is not what they were expecting and are ok with it. You are not likely to get vertigo because you rarely feel any wind like on a bridge, you don't see the perspective of things getting smaller like on a roof, and there is no rocking or turbulence like on a plane. Lisa, our crew chief, is a little afraid of heights.

I'm scared of heights - will I be able to walk the Trail?

The Inca Trail FAQ
If the words 'Inca Trail' call up images of swaying rope bridges over deep ravines and narrow paths carved into the faces of sheer precipices, relax. There's nothing like that. And it's a walking trail, so you don't need to do any mountaineering. There are a few steep descents, and there are some places where there is a drop-off on one side of the roadway. However, even people who don't like heights should be able to walk these stretches quite comfortably.
