Like I said...been there, done that. (Remember that I am old enough to be YOUR mother!)
I too am afraid of any manner of flying that does not involve an airplane. I will not skydive or para-sail, knowing deep in my heart that I will somehow manage to hurt myself (or worse).
You could call it paranoia or you could call it prudence on the part of someone who once broke her leg just getting out of the chair lift..can't even say "I broke my leg skiing" because I did get that far.
