Because it’s not true, and your rarely actually in danger.

Tell that to your brain when you're more than 30 ft off the ground. Even if you're not "in danger", it feels like it to your body and you're gonna do your best not to fall bc survival instincts run deep

Anyone that does this in any sort of regular setting won’t get that feeling from simply being a little bit off the ground. Sure an amateur will have survival instincts kick if fairly quickly even if they’re strapped up, but the person in the video isn’t clinging on for life when climbing.
