I mean, a lot of people aren’t phased by high places though so it’s kinda different , others have sever fears that cripple them.

That absolutely nothing, you must not know about the trades. They work at real heights

I cracked up!

Are you sarcastic or serious? Because I want to volenteer as a fire fighter but I have a strong fear of heights. But I don’t get dissy tho just heavy in the legs.

@@Hvmoudi I'm serious, defeating fears fuels confidence, I used to lock up on short ladders, heights are fun now. You'll learn quickly there's nothing to be afraid of, you'll have a harness on for tall ladders on ladder trucks, the only direction you go is wherever you decide to go.

go up in a 150' articulating boomlift, not the straight mass. the articulating boomlifts with the auto leveling basket will make your heart jump out your chest lmao

Im scared of heights too. Im a medic and all i need is fire academy now. Whats making me think too much about it is the climb. Soo ill take your word if its not too bad. Im slowly getting rid of my fear but its still there

As a kid I would climb trees to the top

You can still do it. In my opinion having a fear of heights gives you an advantage in training. You'll get over it pretty quick and having that fear while knowing you're safe will give you a rush that makes it fun. I used to have panic attacks on a single story roof, but now tall 100 foot ladders are really fun to me

There are different types of firefighters as well. You don’t have to be the one to climb the ladders you could be someone who goes into the burning buildings to save people that way

@@lukepasley2650 I won’t risk the lives of people to feed my ego. I don’t want to live with the fact that I froze on the ladder and let people die. You can’t have it all in life sometimes and sometimes your dreams are not made for you

@@aydenburris8631 I don’t think I’m the same as you sadly. I don’t fear anything in life at all other than heights and I tried to beat it but it’s just engraved in my heart. I almost died from a panic attack because I forced myself to a high place to face my fears and let me tell ya I tried many many times. As bad as I hate quitters and to quit in general but I think I will stick to the ground.

​​@@lukepasley2650 i would do anything if I was a firefighter i just Don like climbing the ladder part lol I do have a slight fear of climbing tall ladders

Lol wait till your 110ft plus all that i think goes out the window

@@ecstrip6691 love heights and the veiw but when it gets risky my body starts shutting down and lose balance iv done the slingshot ride 3 times where it shoots u up in the air 300ft and love it and have climbed big trees but if it includes anything I have to stand on anything high up near the edge of somthing without somthing to grab on to it makes me nervous heights always equal the best veiw i wish I could do the iron working type job that required standing on big beams setting up sky scrapers I say hell ya but my body says hell no

Good question. 👍

Yes ..it's proven it can be weaned out of you. Like with exposure

@@rmw9130 I've gone skydiving, it was great..but I still get that feeling of fear when I look over the edge of something very high up.

What a thrill

It’s called yer mom!😂🤣

Hahahaha when you started did you have a fear of heights?

Did you do it?

A climbed one with a harness and i wasnt afraid at all lol. Take away the harness and that would probably be a whole different story lol

We didn’t get one in academy either

@@Nics574 r u a firefighter?

You even did the lean thing at 1:35 without a harness? Damn, you must have legs of steel, lol.

Absolutely and utterly stupid to do that without a harness

I just hate climbing very tall ladders thats my biggest fear

Push through all fears. They'll always exist, the key is to just keep pushing

The hell does that have to do with anything? We're overcoming a fear of heights, sir. Not asking Santa Claus for favors.

They said that because climbing a ladder like that does help to get over it. First time I had to do it the highest I would normally choose to go was about 10 feet. I had to do 100 for a test and by the time I got back down I wanted to do it again. That fear eventually fuels a euphoric rush and makes it enjoyable.
