This might be a (yoga) stretch, but I'm reading a book called "The Unthinkable" which is a study of how people react during disasters. Like plane crashes, fires, etc. One of the ways they study people's panic reactions, is to drop them unexpectedly from a height, so they land on their backs on a net below. "It is freaking scary. It goes against every instinct you have."
That's very similar, it seems to me, to lead climbing on the ceiling at VE. There's lots more in the book about how they train people to overcome the initial panicky feelings we all have when under stress. Such as the tendency to have tunnel vision. More to follow if I can get over my panic at reading about disasters.
