A man in Taiwan tried to overcome his fear of heights…by flying high in the sky via paragliding. And he got it all on video. But the flight didn't seem to do the trick.
This is Chen Yue-deh and he's afraid of heights. He tried to overcome this fear by going paragliding. He got a great view but he didn't seem to enjoy it. And the experience didn't help him overcome his fears either.
Covering his eyes didn't help. Good thing the coach was with him all the way.
The coach asked him, "Does he want to try this again?"“No way!” he said.
Boy, was he relieved when he landed. He said he was weak all over and thanked the coach profusely for getting him through. "I love you, coach!" he shouted in relief.
Coach Lin said Chen was afraid of heights and was brave to take on the challenge so they took it slow. But paragliding is not for everyone. You need to first make sure your body can take it. Don't go if you have heart problems, epilepsy, or have recently been injured or had surgery. And make sure you wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes.
Make sure you're ready to fly.
