    Would you ever try skydiving? I don't think I would, I've a feeling I would forget to use the parachute or something

    Absolutely not. Parasailing, sure. Dropping out of a plane? No.

    Some friends of mine apparently just went skydiving! I would never do it. It's never interested me, and I know something terrible would happen. I don't have good luck, haha.

    I would not do it. My luck is that there would be some sort of malfunction and then the helmet I am wearing would be using me to absorb the impact.

    I really want to try this. I'm pretty sure its a rule everywhere that you're not allowed to do it alone until you're qualified, so you're gonna be strapped to a dude with a done of experience and a license to ensure you don't die so what is the problem? Plus if you do fall to your death you're pretty much definitely going to die instantly so you could stick ur middle fingers up and shout expletives and die like a hero.

    I'd be far more scared of bungee jumping, where the floor is real close and imminent and there instead of being some kind of vague blur abstracted by like 40k feet of air.

    I did a tandem skydive (attached to an experienced skydiver. They have to have done a LOT of jumps and special training to be allowed to do them) and it was terrifying but amazing. If you're thinking of doing one, I'd say go for it they don't let you just jump out on your own and hope for the best :P

    There was a time when I would've said no, but now I don't know. If I was in the financial position, maybe I would, just to say I'd experienced it. I'd definitely be a lot more willing to go skydiving than I would bungee jumping.

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

    I REALLY want to someday - just tandem, I don't ever care about doing it alone. I'll trust my life to someone with experience, thank you very much.

    I'm scared of heights, yet for some reason not scared to jump out of a plane.

    Sure, I think I would. You never know until you're standing at the edge of the plane, but I feel pretty strongly I would.

    This is a stupid thing to do, so yeah I'll try it. I wouldn't bungee jump though because I feel like more could go wrong there. If I don't almost break my leg or fall, I'd at the very least be very motion sick from the constant swinging motion upside down.

    I have been indoor skydiving. It was pretty cool. That's enough for me, though. It was nice inside a giant tunnel as it was so much safer and contained!
