    Anyone ever go skydiving or want to?

    I plan on it some day. Everytime i think about it, i think its a little crazy to jump out of a plane 14,000 feet in the sky but ive heard its a completely different experience than you would expect

    Nope. I've always had a fear of heights. Even looking at that picture has made my stomach drop lol

    I went for the first time last year, would do it again. I've also freefallen in Vegas at the Stratosphere which is bungee jumping without swinging around at the end, it just slows you down when you get to the bottom instead. Don't have a huge interest in actually bungee jumping but might do that someday. I'd say the freefall might have been more fun than the skydive. My boy's instructor from when we went died in a skydiving accident a couple weeks after us tho, scary s--- still lots of deaths. Here's me.

    I think it would be an exhilarating experience and part of me would like to do it at least once.

    This is definitely on my things to do list before my time is up. Not that expensive either from what I've seen, I had a chance to go skydiving last year but I had a damm game on that day :snoop:

    All jokes aside I'd l9ve to be brave enough to do this s--- one day. I know it would probably be the most exhilarating experience of my life but I'm utterly terrified of heights/parachute not opening. Definitely not trying to end up as a huge blood spattered rorshac image on the ground

    im not sure exactly what the death rate is but that is definitely a factor that keeps me from doing it right now. I seem to hear too many horror stories about skydiving that it makes me want to stay on the ground. I respect anyone that has the balls to do this.

    @M.I.C. few questions
    -how long did you free fall before they pulled the parachute?
    -how long was it all together before you got to the ground?
    -How high up are you when you do the Stratosphere?
    -Why do you think that was more fun?
