Come onnn already, ...you can feel 'fear of falling' in a "secure place?" like "inside an airplane??" A fear of falling usually presents when a person is confronted with railings, open edges, etc.--anything that might conceivably permit him to fall. Open glass walls or floors, by extension, can trigger the fear also. But sitting in a seat with seat belt attached and looking out a small window that one can obviously not fit through isn't likely to trigger a fear of falling or heights. (who feels secure inside an airplane?) Pilots and experienced passengers. You can feel 'fear of falling' laying on a floor! That would be very unusual. Do you know where the 'fear of falling' comes from? A fear of falling is wired in. All normal people have some degree of fear of falling. Even babies automatically fear falling and heights. Only when it becomes very extreme is it considered pathological and a phobia. Fear of falling/heights can be aggravated by vestibular problems that affect the ability to balance for walking and standing. Older people with such problems often develop a strong fear of heights and falling (and justifiably so, to some extent). Both fears tend to get worse with age in most people. Women are more often affected than men. |

Well of course, you sit in front of a monitor playing MSFS, you are not going to get the fear of falling GET IN A REAL PLANE on takeoff or before landing on a turbulent day and the above statement is as WRONG as you usually are. |
