    and i only know one person who ever has gone skydiving and it was a kid back in highschool who did it when he just turned 18...

    course you gotta go through lots of training to jump outta a plane alone..

    but damn it would be fun to just run out the back of a plane and back flip into 14,000feet of air.

    it sounds heavenly.

    They asked me while signing up for the army if I wanted to be airborne, but I said "Why jump out of a perfectly fine aeroplane?"

    Turns out the training really fucks up the knees so I made the right decision.

    I would do it but it freaks me out so I'd have to be pushed into it.

    One of my exes went awhile back, but I was working so couldn't go anyway.

    i feel like there are more safety regulations that skydiving companies are forced to follow... bungee jumping could just be any dude with a big elastic and a helmet.

    I never did understand this obsession some people get about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane...

    I would love to do skydiving and bungee jumping. The feeling must be exhilarating. Such an adrenaline rush..

    It's a matter of trusting equipment not to fail and trusting another person to pack your chute correctly. No thanks.

    doesn't seem more dangerous than driving on some city freeways...its the heights that i think gets a lot of people..

    although it would suck to pull your chute too late and land in telepohone wires..

    A six hour course to solo jump, not so much training really. It's a blast. It's gorgeous, you can see the whole world for like 70 miles. It doesn't really seem extreme at all either. Once all that adrenelin kicks in your super relaxed. The first time I went some strange girl who was doing her instructor certification kissed me and hopped out the plane.
