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.

Heights and I don't get along, will I be scared?

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.

What about if I'm scared of heights?

Go Ballooning
Well your won't be alone. Many people are scared of heights, but ballooning is different. You do not get any sensation of movement or speed; the ground simply seems to fall away. You will quickly lose any fear you had, in fact, most people who were scared initially, want to go straight back up once we have landed. We can take you right through a course of flying lessons and help you gain your private pilot's licence.

What if I’m scared of heights?

Skydiving questions? | Skydiving frequently asked questions ...
This is probably the most commonly asked question. Thousands of people who claim to have a fear of heights skydive every year. Skydiving is nothing like standing on the edge of a tall building, looking down. Everybody feels uncomfortable in that position. When you are in the aeroplane, you are not connected to the ground and you therefore don’t have the ‘I might fall off feeling’.

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.

I'm afraid of heights. Will I ever be able to enjoy tree climbing?

New Tribe FAQ's
Fear of heights (acrophobia) is a normal healthy thing. It doesn't have to keep you on the ground, however. Most people say they climbed trees "as a kid" and then quit when they grew up and acrophobia kicked in. Fear of heights keeps us safe because it causes us to be careful when there is a risk of falling. Anytime we are off the ground, there is a risk of falling. In tree climbing, we use rope and saddle to protect us from falls.

One of the scariest moments I ever had was when I was traveling in Santo Domingo, the biggest city in the Dominican Republic. They said whatever you do don’t walk alone at night in the city, take a taxi. Well we just had a few blocks to go so we figured we would be fine. There was a blackout in the city and there were no lights. We are walking at 10 p.m. with no lights anywhere and we are really scared. This car approaches us and two people pop out.

Skydive Airtight Frequently Asked Questions
I dunno... maybe, maybe not. It's not every day that you jump out of a perfectly good airplane. There is definitely a lot of adrenaline and excitement going around and it depends on how you cope with that. Before and during the jump there can be symptoms such as an increased sense of apprehension, raised heart action, eyes the size of golf balls, probably a dry mouth and sweaty palms. After the jump, though, most people throw a "THAT WAS INCREDIBLE" fit and jump around a lot.

This varies from person to person, but it is common (and perfectly natural) to feel uneasy about jumping out of a plane! In fact many experienced jumpers still get a lump in their throat on each and every jump, but that's part of the exhilaration, and you can take pride in conquering that fear! In reality there is very little to be afraid of. Also keep in mind that we have all been there, so we know how you feel.
