The goal was to have Ryan lift Emma above his head, but Emma had a panic attack and couldn't do it!

"I ran for him to pick me up, and I don't know what happened," she said. "I went spider monkey around his head and kicked him in the throat."

Emma says she then had to go lie down and discovered she has a fear of heights from having broken both her arms when she was younger playing on parallel bars!
