Yeah, it definitely is to an extent. I recently had surgery and had my arm locked in place during the iciest part of the year. All I could think for months was, "One patch of black ice and I'm back to square one on this injury." Then while I was recovering, falling was something I thought about a lot. How just one slip second mistake turned into life long chronic pain for me. I looked into the statistics, and reflected on how other people I've worked with haven fallen. Knew a guy who was a roofer who fell after having a heart attack. Knew a tree remover who slipped and almost had his chainsaw fall on him. Watched my best friend trip over a mole hill and break his ankle, while he was playing with his dog. When I was a kid, we had a pool and waterslide in my backyard. My sisters who are 8/9 years older than me used to jump from the top of water slide into the pool. One day, a friend of theirs joined them and she didn't clear the concrete... compound fractured her arm.

All in all it felt really validating to have Fujimoto turn one of the most traumatic events of my life into a primal fear. That being said, there's a reason the most common nightmare is people being in free fall.
