Overcoming the Fear of Heights: A Thrilling Flight Experience

Most people aren't actually afraid of heights they are afraid of falling. But when you're securely strapped into a hang glider or gyrocopter with a four-point harness, that fear disappears. The sensation of falling simply isn't there.


It's always fascinating to see how many of my customers-about 40%-come in saying they're afraid of heights, only to realize once they are in the sky that they feel completely at ease. The experience is exhilarating, not terrifying.
