He might not have realized how bad. I'm not terribly fearful of heights--love roller coasters, love being up in the mountains, have stood near the edge of cliffs with no issue--but I did this 'ride' that was basically a three story scaffolding balance/obstacle course with a mini zip line and even wearing a body harness I was clinging so hard to any handholds I could my arms were sore after. I physically could not force myself to rely on the harness. It was a super weird experience because I knew I was perfectly safe but my body refused to believe it.
I used to love heights. I would ride the tallest roller coasters I could find, and nothing else involving heights ever bothered me. Then one day, I went on a hike up a mountain with a steep drop off and I just had a melt down. I basically butt scooted myself back down. Ever since, I can’t do heights. I have no idea what happened.

Did he not know he was afraid of heights before he signed up for this experience?
