I always have a fear that the parachute will NEVER OPEN!!!!!

Thats why I haven't tried. 

its a fastest way to die , so its a Win/Win

@OP

did you manage to control your flight at that 60 second free falling? , because it takes a bit of skill and some training just to control yourself.

i've never did it but now i want to.

I can't risk dying before Mars Colonization  pullus pardus!!!

How long are you planning to live?



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

actually about a month and a half ago I went "skydiving" in a gigantic wind tunnel, like this one:

It was very fun. I assume it's very similar to actual skydiving, because this is what air force people use to train in.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

I definitely will do it at some time in my life. It looks awesome!

Of course I should! I mean why not just jump out of an airplane 6,000 feet up in the sky! Great idea!

Went on my last birthday! Its the most intense adrenaline rush! Also it is well worth going tandum the first time to experience the free fall. Its addicting and I plan to slowly work on my license so I can free fall alone.

Awesome. I've been contemplating skydiving for my 18th birthday, but I have to get over my fear of unrestrained heights. What's the scariest part, and do you know the casualties of skydiving?


Theres two scary parts. The wait before you get into the plane and then everything is fine your enjoying the scenery then the second part is when they open that door of the plane and it's a huge rush of wind and noise and your kind of rushed out of the door.

Also let's just say the drive there is more dangerous then skydiving. There's like a 1 and million chance both chutes wont work, I think in the last 15 years there was like 500 deaths and it's all really because of the jumpers fault, messing something up, not so much the chute failing.


Interesting. That makes a lot of sense. And the statistics areguement is how I convince my friends to ride roller coasters. :P

Okay then, I'll jump.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?
