Angie’s Freefall 21 stories at Zero Gravity in Dallas
If you know me, you will know that I am generally a reserved person. When things are going crazy and people are losing their minds, I remain the calm in the storm. I am the grounded one, the one that helps keep everyone focused and on track. These are admirable traits in most people – at least that is what people tell me. However, sometimes reserved and calm can equal boring. This last year, when I quit my job, I made a commitment to do things that I normally would not do and to take more risks. This video is of my conquering two of my fears – the fear of heights and of falling. I have to admit, being lifted up 21 stories, hovering over a net and then allowing someone to release me was scary and hard to take. There were several times when I wanted to back out of it. My stomach flipped then flopped. My heart pounded and my palms sweated. I had such a death-grip on the railing of the platform they hoists you up in, that I had to consciously talk myself into letting go. The dangling over the net seemed like it took forever, but the fall was quick and painless. I am proud of myself for doing it and not chickening out. Will I do it again? Probably not. Enjoy the video my husband, Tommy, put together. He made a few creative edits – I hope you get a few good laughs from it. I did!
