Having experienced it personally before now, yup. Very easy.

It’s why I’m afraid of heights. My brain freaks me out sometimes. I’m by no means suicidal but when I see off a high place I wonder what it would be like to fall. I almost feel compelled by the rush of it.

Reminds me of a line from a Jim Carrey stand-up. On the subject of that little voice in the back of your head “Turning the vehicle into on-coming traffic would be COUNTERPRODUCTIVE”

I had a friend with a lake house, and it was five stories from the deck to the lake. We spent about an hour jumping off, running up the stairs and jumping again.
You’d think it would have helped my call of the void, especially around heights, but it made it worse. Ah well, it was fun.

I work at heights daily, climbing 100m towers. I’m also scared of heights. I’ve done some cliff dives into deep water as another way to face that fear. It takes a force of will for me to jump off more than about 10m. Sure wish I enjoyed that thrill.
