I firmly believe that the older you get the more conscious you become of your own mortality. Things that you normalized when you were younger are not as scary as those same things first experienced when older, even though the risk is the same. Bravo for breaking the fear barrier and taking the calculated risk!
💯
Well said.
You have my deepest respect. This is a fear that I've never been able to surpass. More than the falling sensation, it's more about entrusting my own life to someone I do not know.
But in a way, don't you do that every day in very mundane situations all the time?
@@cemerson Yes, in a way .... but everyday situations are just stuff you can't really escape. You'll have to walk, ride a car, take a bus or even a plane to go from a place to another. You'll have take medication or have a surgery when sick, but there's higher risk not been treated. Maybe, as I did, you'll develop an allergy to strawberry at an adult age, all of a sudden.
Bungee jump on the other hand is not mandatory, it's something you do because you want to and you have zero control over it, except the decision to jump.
Well done! Looking forward to your Skydiving video ;)
haha....Give me time to get over this one!
Well done Beth!
For my 18th birthday my parents gave me a bungy jump (65 meters) and when I stood there on the crane it literally took me 5 minutes to make the jump, but I did it! and recently for my 31th birthday they gave me my first skydive (4000 meters), it was the scariest thing I've ever done... I think there's different levels of stepping outside your comfort zone, and in my case with the skydiving I quite literally fell out of it with a speed of200 km/h, it took me two days to feel normal again and after that I could proudly say I did it; but stepping so far out of my comfort zone was incredible overwhelming!
It's a weird feeling to freefall for 30 seconds...
You went from Roar to Scream to Laugh to Feel Alive. Awesome.
Rock climbing years ago my friend made a significant comment, "fear the person without fear for they are the real danger".
Good for you Beth ☺️ You’re braver than I am! 😃🌸
The intrepertation of the 1933 quote from US President Roosevelt is very interesting. By jumping, and including the Circus act, it surpassed the fear. So... 'The onlything to fear... is Fear itself' WAS proven true.
The accomplishment OF conquering your fear, both at the circus and the Jump Platform, clearly demonstrates faer is NOT your Master. Vice versa!!!
BRAVO, Young Lady!!! Terrifying at it was... you won!! =)
Following a collapsed lung 5 years ago and the surgery required to repair it, I medically can't bungee jump, scuba dive or sky dive. It's honestly something I'd never wanted to do but as soon as I was told I couldn't, I was a little annoyed the option was taken away from me.
Props to you for trying new things!
I used to bungee jump for years! Helped me a lot to become a better person!
Roosevelt sad the line about fear to stop people from running on the Banks when wall Street fell. The whole quote is "The only thing to fear is fear it's self, nameless unjustified fear & terror which paralyzes the need to convert retreat into advance..." He then closed the banks for a few days & called a special session of Congress to form recovery plans.
What a brave challenge.....
You already got a overcome with 번지점프 of a lot of things that you have to get over in your life. And you will be on right track all the time.
Great vid!
I am so proud of you!!!!
You roared like thunder! The things ppl do to get up to Floor's belting range.. ;)
Bungee is awesome. Did once in South Africa and was one of the best experiences of my life. Congratz Beth!
Congrats! you´re soooo brave
Yay! Kati Morton!
ooooooh muhgawd - I do not do well with heights, and I was having a panic-attack right with you when you were shuffling up to the launch point. And I was *SO PUMPED*, when you committed to it! Well done, well done - great job!
Great job Beth!!!! You're an inspiration!
Beth Roars Vocal/Life coach!
Very cool!
You did something I will never do willingly at this point in my life, I’m glad to have watched you share your process of concurring a fear and doing something that will be a lasting memory and experience. May I add that you look so cute doing all the things you do.
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
The best way to conquer a fear is to face it head on and not let it stop you from going through with it.
Obviously, don't do it if it'll kill you or there's a chance you'll get hurt, but go through with it if you think "this is silly: I CAN'T live in fear anymore".
It's also and ultimately about assessing yourself in small steps. Like I used to be TERRIFIED of heights, but in uni, I had a chance to climb up this outdoor playground. I was scared out of my head, but stopped at every level to say something to myself like "push on. You won't fall" or "You CAN do this!". Eventually reached the top and I was REALLY overjoyed!
Even when I rock-climbed, I was strapped in and told myself "You CAN do this! Don't look down!". Made it all the way up, but I was SCARED!
Amazing, Beth! Now I already know how it feels from the perspective of a someone I trust so I don't have to find out for myself.🤪. It was great that you included both specialists too. It gave the whole thing a really interesting perspective. Thanks once again for the great content. Always entertaining and educating us!😊👍
Haha! Thank you!
Great effort with that! Well done xx
Thank you! 😊
Respect!
Well who knew you were a true "Brave" wee Scottish Lassie. Magic Beth , magic . Your right though , it's better to embrace fear , don't ever Not trust your Spidey Senses but if you can rise above that fear , then your controlling it & it's Not controlling you. So........................THE VERY , VERY MAHOOSIVE ROAR TO YOU FROM ME 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🏴🏴
Awesome!
Thanks!
Thank you Beth for a great video. ❤❤🌹🌹🎶🎶
Thanks Kaj!
@@RoarRawr Its always fun watching your videos🌹🌹
Awesome moment of jumping into the abyss! Sometimes the abyss isn't what we imagine it to be!
Well done!! I don’t know if I could do it
Good on ya. I have considered bungee jumping off something like a bridge or a cliff, but I'm not sure that I could actually do it, lol! Congratz! Loch Sloy! ~Be Blessed
Way to go Beth!
Once again, Beth ROARRRRRRS! 🙂
Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! Great job Beth! You are awesome!
Thank you so much!
Respect! Congrats on this epic, short but powerful, journey. I've done a tandem-skydive, but seeing the ground with a bungie jump just takes the fear to the next level for me - weird as that may sound. Well done! And having Kati Mortin on as well (my source of online therapy) is amazing!!!! Love it. I didn't know that you were a fan of the psychological impact/side of activities like this, and most importantly, music as a form of expression.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
You're a braver person than I am given my fear of heights.
Your amazing because your so open to challenging yourself.
My anxiety was intense just watching you prepare to jump so I don't know if I'd be able to get passed my fear to bungee jump.
Wow You're a very brave girl.
Very brave, my sister Beth had a boyfriend who's business was bungee jumping around Maine and new England , she broke up with him, now she owns a dog daycare, I've never jumped, but it wouldn't bother me , I have no fear of heights, just the cord breaking
CONGRATULATIONS DEAR 🎊 my deepest respect and my all admiration to you sweetheart ❤️ ♥️ 💖
You're so brave
Just fear the fearless!!:):) Great jump!
Thank you!
Sheeso, you're so brave. I really never could do that.
I absolutely hate heights, but I did a jump to raise money for the local Obs/Gyni unit at the local hospital. It was supposed to be the 150ft crane but they said we were lucky - there had been a cancellation elsewhere and we had the 180ft. I turned the air blue on the way up. The huge air bag looked like a postage stamp. A couple of staff from my workplace had turned up to watch. They said I looked so bad after the jump they both gave extra fiver each. Still hate heights, but it's like getting used to new flavours - bit by bit it's getting a little easier. So all respect to you for it and all your future endeavours. :D
I love the quote from the Will Smith move which is:
“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.”
I did zip line and I did tandem skydiving. THIS is what I want to do next!!
Congratulations on going through with it :)
In my own experience, I think being really tired (or otherwise not feeling great) can also affect your fear response. I am not a fan of amusement park rides (height/speed/spinning), but my friend convinced me to go on California Screamin' at Disney's California Adventure - at the time, I had barely gotten any sleep the night before and we had been traveling for a few hours that morning. I am still surprised that I agreed to it.
I think there is also something to be said for your brain deciding that a particular action is necessary. I am really afraid of heights, but my brain pushed that to the side when I got a job (that I really needed) on the 7th floor of a building.
Roosevelt clearly never took a night walk in my neighbourhood...
Well done Beth. You're a more courageous person than I am. Also, your hair looks amazing in sunlight. Bring on next challenge
One my favorite films, "Fearless" (1993), is about what might happen if we no longer feel fear. Fear is an important aspect of the human condition. Whether it is overcoming irrational fears or accepting fear to avoid serious consequences, we must have it in our lives. That's a great film and this was a great vid. Thanks!
Thanks Rod!
Ok, obviously I've got issues, because as you were walking towards the edge I was actually saying, "No" at the screen over and over again, and when you went over my whole body tensed up and I was not having it, lol. I'm glad you're safe. I'm glad you overcame your fear...maybe for me I'll just stick with living vicariously through you. lol.
Thanks for this!
Same, my friend, very much same :)
Roar!
I jumped at god's window in South Africa, the view is so aww inspiring, but the jump scared the living daylights out of me! same with 'the fastest zipline? with a cart in the world, at about 150 miles an hour in a rusted bucket in th middle of the venezolan jungle I almost peed myself! but I would never not do it if I had the chance to redo my life!
There is a great book entitled, "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. I URGE you to read it now that you have conquered the bungee jump. It can be life-altering, too. I gave the book for my daughters to read. True stories. In my past work life, I should have been dead many, many times over. I stay aware of my surroundings and use the natural gift of fear to help me. You did a perfect presentation and personal story, Beth. Bravo!
I'm not surprised that you are also good at this kind of vlog content. Do we see a shift in genre? I guess if you are burned out at doing music reactions, this is your fall back: doing travel and adventures. Conquer your other fears Beth, we're just here to watch. Roars Adventures is next? Love from the Philippines.
Good job. Mine was to do a zipline in Costa Rica quite fun actually and not directly only falling so that made it a bit easier possibly than your experience.
The only thing to do with fear is acceptance. Accept that yes, this is a scary thing. And it's okay that I am terrified of it. Now let's do it anyway.
That is the(or at least a) definition of bravery. Being scared shitless, but doing it anyway. However that is also a description of insanity. And that is why life is hard.
I've been skydiving and loved it and want to go again but for some reason this looks SO much scarier to me!! Does it hurt?? It seems like the cord would "snap" you in a way. Well done Beth!!!
Nice, good job Beth. Maybe you can show me that jumping place when I visit U.K next year. 😏 Heh. I actually like these videos you've recently have done. From class blowing too. Maybe in winter we can encourage you to do Alpine skiing, or have you been 1 of those huge blowers/fans that blow air upwards and you can simulate chiding in air as in parachute jumpers would? Now that could be fun to see you to do.
I bungee jumped twice. It was amazing
Gear is what keeps us safe from harm - real or imagined.
Awesome! Too bad I am too old, and broken, to do it.
Despite living in the home of Bungee Jumping (the modern form being created in NZ) I still haven't done it. I would probably enjoy it though.
Next up, a solo skydive!😱
Been skydiving and I'd do it again in a heartbeat over bungee-jumping. Not sure why but nah, I'm good lol your much better than me Beth 👏
I have done skydiving before, I totally agree with you. Bungee jumping is way for scary to me!
@@RoarRawr Absolutely, but you overcame that like a damn champ girl!!! So proud of ya!
The most beautiful “redhead full of fear woman" i've ever seen!!!!
True
😱
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate... leads to bungee jumps.
I'd rather sky dive with a parachute. Seems safer, and more fun :)
Kudos to you!
You are sooooooo... BRAVE!!! 🤐😵💫😮😱
haha! It was definitely a scary one!
Congratulations. A helmet to protect cranium is de rigeueur here in the States when leaping off steel. Quite impressive!!!
oh man! I could not do that! only 1 REAL challenge left! you go on the show HOT ONES and answer questions while eating the hotest wings on earth! haha! excellent vid!
I second this. Would love to see Beth on Hot Ones. If she needs moral support from another Irish lady, she should bring Ciara O'Doherty with her.
My goodness you are so brave! Would you do it again? 🤔 ❤
I'll never say never but I'm not going to seek it out!
I would love to try this! After tugging on the rope firmly of course 🤣 not afraid of heights at all 🤗
Go for it!
I love that everywhere is Scotland has a name that sounds like you are just making it up on the spot. Best of luck with whatever major change you are vaguely alluding to. A minor note but you maybe should have gotten a psychiatrist for the mental part. I'm not sure the "nervous system reset" purported by Kati is actually a thing. People suffering from PTSD can benefit from exposure therapy but it has to be done in a controlled environment. Combat soldiers have been show to develop larger amygdalas from constant exposure to combat.
I'm not saying there are no benefits to bungee jumping. Doing something you are afraid to do is a great way to find out what you are capable of. I've never liked the term overcoming fear. I think learning to function while you are afraid is a better way to describe it. It is impressive you were able to do it. Good job.
Brave girl! I love your content! Respect for overcoming your fear! :)
Thank you so much!!
Oh my Beth that was scary
You look so lovely... upside down... great job!
You're a braver person than I...and I was Firefighter/Paramedic Rescue. LOL It's not the fall to be afraid of but the sudden stop if you hit something solid. Did you ask for a money back guarantee if something went wrong?
React to Volbeat Die to Live please!
Nowhere near as impressive, but I recently went over the Capilano suspension bridge in Vancouver. It's 70m high over a ravine (a bit like where you jumped) and sways as people walk on it. Absolutely terrifying to me as someone who doesn't like heights, and my legs were wobbling for a good hour afterwards, but it was very rewarding to get over it!
Even watching this is bringing me back there mentally, except then I was fully enclosed in railings. I couldn't imagine doing this
Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver has a suspension bridge as well and back in the 1950s those bridges weren't as stable as they are now so even as a kid they were quite a thrill ride.
Beth is really beautiful ❤
I perfer to keep my ribcage where it is - not pulled up around my wrists over my head on recoil :P ;)
I’ve done a few static line parachute jumps, but I wouldn’t trust my life to an elastic band🤣
💐🌠🤩✌
Is skydiving up next?
your my hero, i would not do it .
If I were you to help fear choose random bucketlist things to help it
My questions would be, since you now did a bungee jump, by rationale, it should be easier doing it a second time. So would you ever do another one? If not, is it because there isn't really anything to gain since this was about getting past that fear? Or I guess a way to put it is... is there a way to embrace this as more than a one-and-done kind of experience?
I think you could but if you left it too long before the next one you could become scared again and build it up in your head.
Beth did not ROAR, sounded more like a SQUEAL! 🤣
I’m not a fear type person I do triple the speed limit on my motorbike everyday but ever since I booked my bungee I’ve been shittin it is that normal I’m about to cancel it very torn
Hope you did it!
@@RoarRawr yeah scary as but worth it doin next year again
Did you yell Tally-Hoooo or Geronimo!!
There seems to be a flaw in human thinking concerning whether or not it would be benefical to be in light or dark on ones way to somewhere. If you are in the dark and you see a light source a distance a ways and suddenly it disappears, wouldn't you know something has happened? Now take the opposite: You are in the light walking towards darkness, do you notice that in the darkness there is another darkness (or a shadow) coming towards you?
Roosevelt's quote was about the state of the Nation at the time. Not actually about fear. He meant that nothing oin this world was able to stop us (USA) except our own apprehension. But i get the duality of the quote and how it applies. now I am wondering why I am posting at all... you get an interaction on your post. so theres that.
Haha. Thanks Hemi!
There is no way i would be able to that
Too many horror stories from those "sling shot" rides at fairs & carnivals, this would be similar. Plus the cords how often are they tested, inspected, ect.? How many jumps prior to mine has that cord endured? That is the stuff that will be going through my head.
@@Ivan-ce6nz im just terrified of heights, so i don't put any thought into the ropes ect. I wouldn't do it even if there has never been an accident, i am however very pleased tp see that Beth didn't het hurt and it looked fun
hey Beth you should analyzed Kim dracula make me famous official video it's well let's just say it has 500,000 views in 3wks. and awesome jump!!
I can only imagine the pit in your stomach as you were standing before the ledge. I’m glad you were able to push past your fear though. Now how about going skydiving next? Of course I’m only joking
I've actually also done that before, and I find it way less scary than bungee jumping. I think it doesn't feel like you might hit the ground as much and being on a parachute is lovely!
@@RoarRawr Oh really, that's awesome! In my mind I would've though bungee jumping would be less intimidating because you're not starting to high up. But I imagine getting to see the views from so high up is so beautiful
I'm pretty sure Roosevelt would have wanted people to be able to do things they fear when the time is right and not just for its own sake. I don't know why you seem to think that what you are saying contradicts that. If you have the understanding of what fear is about, then you can decide whether your instincts are actually what need to be followed now, and indeed, you can use them as information, not necessarily as a deterrent, depending on the situation. What you don't want is a situation where something drastic is called for and you are not up to the task. Sometimes, those situations involve fear and that is when you need to decide that fear, while it gives you warnings, doesn't get to the heart of the situation in a way that your rationality does appreciate. That ultimately, you make the decision, not the fear; the fear may be there, but you get to decide whether you will go away from it, or go into it. It goes without saying that you want to use this power intelligently and not foolishly. At least, some would have thought...
Besides, if fear is so useful, then having fear of fear would make sense anyway, right? You being scared of fear would mean that, again, your body is instinctively warning you about something, in this case fear itself. It could be useful to have such a warning in the same way you seem to lay out, since fear has potential upsides and downsides one should not look at carelessly. It's just kind of an interesting meta way of looking at things. From the fear of fear you can begin to bring attention to the possible problems of your fear, before, perhaps, trusting that fear.
There are a lot of ways of accepting the quote and integrating the things (virtues or otherwise) you are saying about fear.
