Will my mast fall off?

[Talulah]

Best way to overcome your fear is to face your fears.
Disconnect most of the bottle screws. Go out. Let the mast fall down.
It's now happened. You'll be able to move on to your next fear.

To paraphrase John Clarke, "I'd like to point out that it's very unusual for a mast to fall off."
