Would you or have you ever parachuted? I went to try it once a long time ago. Took the course and everything, but just couldn't get myself to jump out. Could you?

No I didn't, and I never could...I would be so scared. I don't even like to fly.

Jumping out of a perfectly good plane really isnt my style, but I'm sure it's exhilerating,lol. :)

I have never jumped out of a perfect good plane. But given the chance, I would love to! I am not an adrenaline junkie. But I do like to try things at least once.

Some people say that jumping out of a plane will help if you are scared of heights. I dunno?!? Thanks for responding

I've always wanted to try that and handgliding. I dream a lot about flying. Would I choke at the last minute? I really don't know.

Never thought I could but I did it in 2002. A friend of mine owns the EP Skydiving Club here in Grahamstown, South Africa.
I did the course just like you. The course duration is but a few hours.
What really encouraged me was the four 19 year olds that were in line before me. Some of them were never in a plane before. So how could I not jump???
Eventually it turned out to be an awesome experience with a mamoth sence of victory over my fear of hights.
I might do it again soon.
So you can do it. If I could, you CAN!!!

My friends that went with me all jumped. Said it was great. They even returned a few times to do it again. Not for me thanks!
