I’m scared of falling. I’m tall and I have a size 6 shoe, so NOT falling has always been a challenge for me. It prevents me from enjoying things like rollerblading… or walking. 
Yesterday I was biking home in the snow (yes, it snowed!) and my front tire slipped into a railroad groove (now I understand why there is a sign before the tracks saying “Please dismount bicycles when crossing tracks“) and I bailed… HARD. It was a bit of shock — due to a conscious effort on my part, I haven’t fallen that hard in a long time! I landed on my left hip and shoulder and I ripped my new sweater. It sucked. I’m quite sore today.
I don’t know how those people on Jackass can continue to do the crap they do… falling sucks.
