  Jaylen Murph, who has a fear of heights, volunteered to go on the slide at T-Rex Golf in Arkansas, but apparently did not realize how high it was 

  Once they reach the top they let go and slide down to a mattress at the bottom. 

  But once Mr Murph reached the top, he refused to let go while continuously screaming. 

  His family and friends can be heard laughing hysterically as they film him on their camera phones. 

  One family member can be heard saying: 'He doesn't like heights', to which someone replies: 'Then why would he do this?' 

  They shout at him repeatedly to 'let go' and tell him 'it's a slide', before he eventually releases the handlebar and falls to the bottom.

  WHAT IS ACROPHOBIA? 

  Acrophobia is an intense fear of heights marked by panic and anxiety, and is one of the most common phobias in the world. 

  For some people, extreme heights trigger this fear. Others may fear any kind of height, including small stepladders or stools.

  This can lead to a range of physical and psychological symptoms.

  Physical symptoms of acrophobia include:

  • Increased sweating, chest pain or tightness, and increased heartbeat at the sight or thought of high places
  • Feeling sick or lightheaded when you see or think about heights
  • Shaking and trembling when faced with heights
  • Feeling dizzy or like you're falling or losing your balance when you look up at a high place or down from a significant height
  • Going out of your way to avoid heights, even if it makes your daily life more difficult
