    keraunothnetophobia - a fear of falling man-made satellites

    So there is a difference between a fear of man made vs alien satellites?

    How would the diagnosis for something like this go?

    @Snowy that was posted further up this thread, with answers after as well...were interesting facts

    V91.07 is the official diagnosis code for an injury caused by "burn due to water-skis on fire".

    I also like V97.33XD - Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter.

    Just in case you survived.

    Christ!!!

    What allowed him to survive was the design of the A-6 engine (the J-52). It has a long protruding ‘bullet’ or cone that extends in front of the first stage fans. When he was sucked in, his arm extended above his head which caused his body to wedge between the bullet and inside wall of the intake. Lucky for him, his cranial and float coat were sucked in first causing the FOD’d engine which prompted the pilot to cut the throttle (commanded by the Shooter who moves into the frame kneeling and moving his wand up and down). It took almost 3 minutes for him to push his way out of the intake after being sucked in.

    Every line you quoted was more remarkable than the previous!!!

    The fact that he can't have been critically injured as he climbed out!

    @booboo but are they real?

    What about Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?

    I mean being diagnosed for something, with that condition that is the very essence of your fear? ie that is a fear of long words!

    Some very interesting ones!

    @Baron-Silas-Greenback do you get medication for it?

    Assuming it doesnt have a name, you could name it?
