Thanks for that information Andy.
It is pleasing to know being a suffer from Vertigo.

Anyway, I am not going on this chair.

Only joking.
To be honest it looks amazing so I am going to have to sort myself out for the holiday.

If everyone gets me a beer for going on it, then that will clinch the deal!!!

What do you reckon?

80 days to go.

Heres what I dont understand.....these chairs are about 5-10 metres off the ground, and if the wire snapped for example, its not that far to go down!
However, the big gondolas and cable cars go much further off the ground, yet people like Stewart say these are ok because you are enclosed. If that snapped, you'd be a gonner!

I decided to have a life change and be more spontaneous. Starting tomorrow.

I wish my team were as good as the Gooners.

Anyway, this irrational fear of chair lifts.......????

Tony,

Being afraid of heights is actually not linked to falling.
It is mostly to do with what you can feel under your feet for the many people (such as me).
I have no problem with flying and I guess it is the same scenario with Gondolas and Bubbles.
Chairs are different as you are exposed and you have nothing under your feet which creates the fear.

That is my opinion anyway so there. :)
