Today, I tried to tackle my fear of heights by riding a rollercoaster. Once we were near the top, it malfunctioned, causing it to stop, and we all had to get out and climb back down. My girlfriend laughed at me for how scared I was. FML

Today, the rollercoaster I was on stuck upside down for a few minutes. I shat myself in terror. Then, gravity took effect. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family and we all decided to ride the tallest rollercoaster. As soon as the ride got going, I realized I'd made a huge mistake and was too terrified to open my eyes. I spent the entire ride screaming, with my hands over my eyes, and afterwards my cousin called me a wuss. FML
Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids. When we were on the Ferris wheel, I discovered my fear of heights. I hyperventilated, screamed from our seat "LET ME OUT! OH GOD LET ME OUT!!" I also began crying hysterically. They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML
Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time in years. Almost immediately, I realized that my shorts were no match for the forces of gravity. I spent the rest of the ride clinging to my seat for dear life while trying to subtly cover my exposed ass. FML
Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time. I sat in the back, which was a bad idea. When it ended everyone in front of me turned around and stared. When I asked my friend what was going on, she said I had been screaming the Lord's Prayer the whole time. I hadn't even noticed. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with a group of friends, one of whom was a girl I really like. When we got on the roller coaster, I was ecstatic that she wanted to sit next to me. Not even half-way through, I ended up puking all over the both of us. FML
Today, I went to a theme park with my friends. I was excited to ride the rollercoasters, but just as we were about to get on the biggest one, I realized I'd had left my glasses in the car. I can't see shit without them, but I decided to go on the ride anyway. I spent the entire time screaming in terror while my friends laughed, while I couldn't see a thing. FML
Today, I was on a roller coaster and this 13 year old sitting next to me was completely terrified. To cheer him up, I threw my hands in the air. While my hands were up, we hit a curve and I elbowed him in the face, making him cry. FML
Today, I went to the yearly town carnival with my friends. I hadn't slept well the night before and when I got onto the scariest ride, I somehow fell half asleep. I woke up upside down and ended up peeing myself in terror. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend skydiving for her birthday. I insisted on joining her to make it a memory for us both, despite my fear of heights. I passed out twice mid-freefall and had to be saved by the instructor both times. FML

That truly is rough OP, I feel your pain. But at the end of the day, you can say you faced your fears head on, and thats something to be proud of.

Dude I don't blame you! I have a fear of heights too and that would terrify me! But at least you tried!

OP were you on the Rip, Ride, Rocket at Universal? I watched the news when that one broke down not too long ago. So scary!

Yep that happened to me too op, except I was vertical, almost upside down when it stopped and when after sitting there for 30 minutes it finally started moving and slowly went forward upside down at about 1mph and rocked us back and forwards for about 20 minutes resulting in severe motion sickness. The worst part was my brother was next to me and teased the cr*p out of me the whole time and saying it was going to fall and we would die! :/ I feel your pain op :)

Oh and also I couldn't stop thinking of final destination!

i didnt think they could stop after the initial climb since there is no propulsion or break system in the cars. maybe my understanding of their workings is out of datw though.

Maybe it's different in Australia? Not sure it was called the buzz saw on the goal coast :)

im sure ive seen one stop before. you hear about them getting stuck on all sorts of bits of track i just always thought they were free movement rides after thr ramp up. coaster do some amazing things nowadays so i guess not.

Fake. They would never get you to climb down because it's too dangerous without harnesses. They would make you sit there until they could get it moving or get emergency services to help you down. Stupid thing to lie about

You aren't afraid of heights. You're afraid of dying.

OP, as other comments have already said. It's not necessarily a fear of heights, but a fear of falling and dying which is PERFECTLY reasonable! It took balls to do what you did, keep trying to conquer you fears!
