CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Had a friend petrified of it and took her ballooning one morning.  It fixed nothing 

Experiences and perceptions are everything.

Years ago, I had a associate who was into Skydiving, one day his primary chute failed to open, his secondary didn't open initially, eventually opened but not fully and he had a hard landing fracturing his ankle. He never flew or skydived again! In reality, the chance of that ever happening twice to the same person is almost impossible, after that event he would probably have been safer than ever before.

I travelled a lot for work, into areas that could be disturbing for some, Jakarta, Germany and Sri Lanka after terrorist bombings and riots, immediately after such human made events was probably the safest time to be there. Probably the closest miss was being in Christchurch just a day or so before one of the big earthquakes, but natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis do not follow the same rules.
