You fling youself off the cliff.
As you fall you notice that you a your clothing is flapping in the wind.
Grabbing the excess fabric you pull it tight and begin to glide, unfortunately, all you can see below are clouds.
...
You're enjoying the sensation of the wind rushing past you. You think you can control your glide and steer yourself, but you're tempted to just close your eyes and enjoy the ride.
You decide to close your eyes and see what magical place the wind will take you.
You begin to panic as you realize that you are actually terrifed of heights.
