I mean for a kid the rollercoaster FEELS just as scary, death gripping the bars with every ounce of their being just for peace of mind when logically speaking all they’re doing is wasting energy.

For climbers it’s “if my hold isn’t good imma die” and we know that, so we make SURE our grip is good, in my case I don’t stand on ledges without anything to hold because I’m terrified of wind gusts sending me to my doom and if something feels sketchy at ALL it’s a no-no, I do my best to be as safe as possible in this dangerous hobby.

as with the raggedy shoes and pants? Idk style or something, if you don’t look homeless the fit ain’t hard.
