    Friend at work wants me to go with him and another guy Saturday....I gave nevr done it before and I am scared shitless of heights (even in my roofing days) but somehow I think it will be so surreal that it wont bother me.

    anyone ever do it...have any suggestions? comments?

    You'll love every second of it.

    I never did it or ever will...

    but hey if that's your thing go for it :)

    I think some people should do it w/o a parachute :D
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I have been skydiving twice and it was a blast both times. I am not scared of heights and am an adrenaline junkie. The actually free fall didn't feel like I was dropping out of the sky though. I guess since you are up so high and the ground isn't rushing up at you I just felt like I was floating with a very loud fan blowing in my ear. Plus from that height the ground just looks like a bunch of big squares. And once the 'chute opens it gets so quiet and surreal. It was some of the most fun I ever had. I have been bungee jumping a few times as well and that got me more rattled than sky diving.
    Nobody ever mentions the silence once the parachute opens. This was the most amazing part for me after the violence of freefalling and all of a sudden it just feels like you are floating. It was also nice doing above the great barrier reef! If you are doing a tandem jump it isn't hard at all, all you have to do is hang your legs out the side of a plane... I'd find it much harder to bungee because I'd have to make the decision to jump.
    I only lied because it was the easiest way to get what I wanted.

    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I find this hard to believe...the most mundane things scare you....perhaps you will be drunker then a skunk when you do it :D.

    My only comments would be better you than me, and you don't have to do it, if you don't want to, but if you do, good luck and have fun. And post the minute you get back, so we know you survived.
