Is it normal to be afraid of short heights?

I am terrified of short heights. At least two to five feet off the ground. My feeling is that I'd much rather fall from high heights for the chance of death rather than from short heights because I would get hurt. I despise ice on the ground because I don't trust my feet on slippery surfaces, likewise with rollerskating or iceskating. Does anyone else feel this way?

    Yes, I get weird being at any height really. I get vertigo. Esp if it's on a bridge or near water.

    You might have a poor sense of balance.

    Same here, I feel very uncomfortable walking on slippery surfaces. I'm not scared of short heights though.
