EXTREME!!!

[[Q]]

so I'm going skydiving for the first time tomorrow. for $175, I think it's a pretty good deal yeah?


for some reason, my mind always comes up with worse-case scenarios without hesitation. i mean, sometimes I pull up at a stop light and I can imagine the guy in the next car pulling out a gun and shooting me in the head. yes, it's weird i know. i'm not afraid of jumping but for some reason i can imagine my parachute not opening or me dying of heart failure or something. hmm maybe I've always had a fear of death.

any extreme adrenaline junkies out there?

It's not abnormal to imagine a worst case scenario, Qballer.

Though, the most likely scenario is that you have a horrible landing and die on impact tomorrow. And just quietly, i hope you do die.

Just make sure you don't get eaten by an aligator.

Way to encourage the guy... I hope eveything goes well and it's a fine experience

I'm sure all will go well. I did it about a year ago with my brother and it was a lot of fun! But, you could consider me to be an extreme junkie...

i guess i probably shouldnt remind you of the guy who's chute wouldn't open and he fell out of the sky.....not less than a month ago.

He survived though! Aim for some bushes.

Aim for some bushes.

Sounds like he's taking a whiz.

I could never skydive, I can barely do rollar-coasters.

[Jackal]

Doesn't surprise me. After all, your chest hair resembles a vagina, so yeah...

I knew I shouldn't have shared that.

man it was pretty cool. the first couple seconds out of the plane your body takes time to readjust... then i realized i was freefalling and I started to enjoy it. when the chute opened, I was relieved but somewhat disappointed the freefall wasn't longer. problem was I didn't think about coming down after the chute opened. The person I was with (It was tandem with an experienced skydiver) starts to position us over the landing spot but he started to these crazy 180 degree turns and I started to feel a little nauseated. My mom has no tolerance to nausea at all and I inherited a little bit of that. it's been almost 6 or 7 hrs since the jump and i'm almost back to normal.

I would definitely suggest everybody try it at least once. all of my friends paid an extra $90 to make a video of your jump. I decided against it.

Crazy video man, that's a close call at it's best. But I don't know how people think the video is fake? It looks legit to me.. but then again with video technology these days, anything's possible.

Unless you're gonna do it again, the $90 would've been worth it imo. I'm afraid of heights, but I'll try it someday before I become old.

[[Q]]

yeah i'm almost 100% sure i'll do it again, so that's part of the reason why I didn't pay up or the video

[cyanide]

The video is worth it, but $90?? I paid $30 for mine, and it was very cool, it captured the shot where I jumped out of the plane. That was the first and last time I'm skydiving. I think I helped my fear of heights a bit, but the reason I'm not going to do it again was because I saw a news segment of people who jumped off the plane to their death because the parachute didn't open. The scary thing was, it looked very similar to my video.

Thats interesting. I have a pretty bad fear of heights but I do think I could skydive. It just seems different. Standing near the edge of a high rise building scares the shit outta me but the thought of jumping out of a plane doesn't. I don't know why
