    I didn't even know this was a thing that existed.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Yes! It was really fun. I would recommend it to anybody who a) is too scared (like me) to jump out of an actual plane or b) can't afford the real deal.

    Apparently it really creates the feeling of real skydiving. Not that I would know, having never jumped out of a plane, but that's what we were told. We had to wear all of the gear, too, as the strength of the fans is crazy! I felt like my face was going to blow off!

    If only the EoFF meet-up involves jumping off a plane with everyone holding hands.

    Skydiving combine two of my biggest fears: heights and falling from them, so no.

    I didn't either until last month. When I was visiting my mom I saw this super huge building called "Indoor Skydiving" and I looked it up later and now I want to try it.
