Interesting how climbing at heights triggers an instinctive fear. But all you've got to do is not let go. Letting go of the steering wheel of a car can mostly have similar consequences, but we all drive cars. Evolution hasn't given us that instinctive fear yet.
Not only do you have to not let go of the steering wheel but you have to control it with way more skill, with no time to pause and think. Driving cars is way more dangerous and should be way more scary.
