What happened to the broken glass plank road in the scenic spot? Can people who are afraid of height

Recently, a video of the broken glass in the East Taihang scenic spot of Handan, Hebei Province, made people sweat. In the video, a man walks on the glass plank road, suddenly the glass under his feet breaks one after another, scaring the man. It is learned that this is a technical special effect. How dare you play like this?

In recent years, it seems that tourists all over the world are more interested in glass. During the long holiday, these glass plank roads have become a hot project. So, climb up afraid of heights, do you suffer from fear of heights? Don't worry, experts say not necessarily.

According to the relevant survey data, nearly nine adults in modern urbanites have experienced acrophobia, 10% of them are clinical acrophobia. They are always on guard against the threat from the height of "accident". They are afraid to take the transparent elevator, and dare not stand on the balcony. Even if they stand at the height of the fourth floor, they can't stand it, let alone fly to a height of more than ten thousand meters. The working environment of urban office workers is mostly in high-rise buildings, standing high and looking far and wide, but the visual conversion is too large when standing high, the scene of entering the field of vision is obviously expanded, and there is a large gap between the objects seen when standing on the ground in peace, so it is easy to produce the symptoms of acrophobia.

In response to the "fear of heights" symptom, Lin Yongzhong explained: when you are at a high place, looking down on a blur, the scene is greatly reduced, everything becomes unreachable, which is quite different from the usual visual image. At this time, your visual information is greatly reduced, and you will lose balance. In general, the range of action the brain commands the body to make is based on the relative activity of objects in the field of vision. If looking down from a high place, the ground object is too far away and too small, it can not be used as the basis for balanced information feedback. In addition, when people are at a high place, their eyes can't find objects at a horizontal position for horizontal movement reference, so the human body balance system breaks down, and then there is a dizziness like carsickness and seasickness.

Fear of heights is not acrophobia

Lin Yongzhong said that fear of heights comes more from the innate self-defense mechanism. Fear of heights is not fear of heights. If you lie on the bed in a high-rise building, and you don't see everything outside the window, and you feel insecure and scared, it's not normal. This kind of excessive fear of heights is not consistent with the actual danger. If you know your fear is excessive, but you can't control it, you may be afraid of heights.

Acrophobia is a treatable disease. But if it has little impact on work and life, it does not have to be treated. At present, behavioral therapy and systemic desensitization therapy are effective methods. Through the systematic desensitization therapy, the patients can slowly perceive and gradually adapt to self-treatment. Exercise in the way of step-by-step try, initially at 1 m high, gradually at 2 m, 3 M & hellip; when there is a fear free psychology, it will have enough bearing capacity.

People who are afraid of heights should not practice courage and challenge themselves in a very high place. If they have vertigo, they will lose their balance and cause danger. The correct treatment is to adapt step by step and overcome the fear gradually.
