First, I have a fear of falling. You will not find me going up a ladder
to put up Christmas lights, nor do you find me hiking to the edge of
mountains. Therefore I do not go on the drop rides at amusement parks
either....

Similar thing here - no ladders & I hate see-through stairways.

I started gliding late (29 yrs) and in a foreign language so I learnt German & flying at the same time. Flying was far easier...

In the meantime I have over 1200 hours & fly a pretty good 18m glider (plus passengers in club 2-seaters)...
