Lani won't do drop rides (she's fine with heights generally, just not with dropping) because they scare her.
I won't do them because they bore me.
When I was about 10 I fell out of a tree from about 50 feet up (I was well above the roof our our two-story, atticed house). Somehow bouncing off branches, uncontrolled, on the way down I suffered no injury but some scratches. I think that feeling of invulnerability (others might have focused on the failure of falling but I focused on the cool success of survival) completely destroyed any potential heights phobia that might otherwise have developed.
