I'm not scared of heights, I'm just scared of falling

I'm not scared of falling, I'm just scared of the sudden deceleration at the end.

So gravity isn’t the force to be feared, but electromagnetism is

Gravity gets a bad rap, it's making you accelerate just the same on the ground as it is when you're falling through the air. It's the damn ground that's the problem, without it we'd be weightless!

Same! I describe it as a fear of unsafe heights - if there’s something that I could do either accidentally or on purpose that could put me in serious danger, I don’t like it.
