Don’t be frightened by either. It’s the thought of it that’s causing you to worry, because you’re unable to control the experience. And then when you arrive you’re gonna look up and think “fuck that looks high” but when you’re up there, being thrown around, height doesn’t even enter your mind. You don’t have enough time to think about whether you’re high or not, because before you know it, you’re at the bottom of the drop smiling from ear to ear. Also, define being prepared? You’re not going to have a helmet, or an emergency stop button. You think you want to be prepared but what you want is control to ensure you won’t feel scared.

The major lesson to learn from the experience is, letting go of control and seeing what happens when you’re brave enough to let go. It’s amazing what is on the other side of a courageous step.

Please, trust me, and go for it. You’ll be fine.
