  • On this episode of "Somebody's Gotta Do It", Mike Rowe gets SERIOUS air in a pig-shaped hot air balloon. Yes, you read that right. Then, in a fit of spontaneity, he climbs aboard a hang glider and takes to the skies once again.

    I admire Mike's ability to deal with heights and remain composed and humorous. I would be frozen in terror.

      I think he has gotten better at dealing with it due to all the times they stuck him up high (like the Mackinac Bridge). I was surprised when he was the one who said "Gotta do that" about the hang gliding, though.

    I’ve wanted to do both of these things for a long time. I did manage to go up in a balloon a few years ago, but it was just a quick tethered flight. By the time he finished the hang glider flight I was getting teary, seeing how moved and amazed Mike was. I want these experiences even more now!

    As a person who is horribly afraid of heights one of the highlights of my life was taking a hot air balloon ride. I’d always thought it seemed like a beautiful experience but my fear overwhelmed me. My husband challenged that by gifting us a ride one Christmas. It took almost a year for me to book the flight but we went on a beautiful Fall evening and it was perfect, everything I’d wanted it to be. That started years of challenges to do the things that deep down caused me fear and I’m still doing so. I’m not an adrenaline junkie, it’s only to let myself know that I’m able to make reasonable choices to calm my mind.
