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!
