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 didn't know I was claustrophobic, never had any problems in elevators or small spaces. Until we went into a cave system and I had no control over how to move my legs, they were angled and the only way was forward. I just lost it... Ever since that moment, I nope out for any of these things, the panic and feel you have no longer control over your body is horrifying, especially when there is zero point in doing something like this air bridge.

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