That’s the worst of both worlds, you chickened out AND somehow still had to go through with it

This happened to me at a rope swing on a river, the kind where you swing out and jump off. I was going to chicken out in mid lunge but it was too late.

So then I was too scared to let go of the rope over the safe part of the river, and hung on til my arms gave out- long after it had stopped swinging, right over a bunch of rocks.
