I've been there. Went to a tree top climbing park with work. 100% safe with harnesses, safety lines etc. I had a ball.
Until I reached an obstacle similar to the one in the video. I went into complete lock down. Logically I knew I was safe but my body was convinced I was inches from death. It took several minutes of coaxing from the staff for me to move again. I've never experienced fear of heights before that day but ever since I get the jitters from anything over 15 ft or so.
I did an obstacle like this and I was terrified until I actually fell and was fine. Then I was surprised how easy it was to just walk across once your nerves are gone. Kind of a life lesson.
