The masked man, also known as Concept Compression's Trent Bruce, may have had his brave face on before rappelling 28 stories down the face of Sun Life Plaza Thursday for the Easter Seals fourth annual Drop Zone, but there was a hint of trepidation in his voice.
"It's looking like it'll be a lot of fun, but I'm sure my perception is going to change once I get up there and start looking down," said Bruce.
There were no psychologists on hand to deal with the fears of the event's 90 participants, said Easter Seals CEO Susan Law, noting solace had to come strictly from prior training and the fact they were in competent hands.
"It's more the illusion of impending doom than the actual reality of it," said Law who expected the event to raise more than $150,000.
