A body is suspended in mid air. Either the person is falling, along with the camera operator, or the wind is holding them up. It is an incredible amount of air. Their skin ripples frantically, their clothes look like they will disintegrate.

I am interested in understanding how people maintain a sense of self in a difficult or dangerous environment. Does a viewer empathize or reject someone who is about to lose control and is struggling to regain it?
