Would you ever skydive?

I am sitting here watching The Biggest Loser Where Are They Now and one of the contestants wanted to sky dive. I wondered how many of my fellow mylotters have or would do this outrageous thing. For me, Im not afraid of heights so that wouldn't be a thing for me. However, there is no way I would ever in my right or insane mind, sky dive. I have this fear of falling that is crazy. I won't go near ladders. I don't even like it when I lay down, just get to sleep and my body does that jerking motion that feels like I'm falling. Sends me into a panic state quicker than snot on a butt cold day!

Hi Tanniebabe, I would love to but I guess I would most probably die of fright up there! Just like you, the fear and queasy feelings in the stomach are just too much to handle. The nearest thing I've done up there (the sky) is para-sailing!!!

I can't do any of that. It looks so fun and if I could handle the falling sensation I would so do all of it. I'm just that kind of person. If it looks fun I'm all for it. However, I just can't get used to the fear of falling. I avoid ladders and everything because I'm scared to fall. I guess its a good thing I never became a stunt woman!

I really don't think that I would ever be able to do that. I think that I would be much too nervous to do it. Even just thinking about it, I'm kind of a little nervous. It's really not something that I would like to do.

No I wouldn't ever sky dive because I'm afraid of heights. I do dream that I'm flying and that it both exciting and scary at the same time. However, in real life there is just no way I would ever attempt this. That includes bungie jumping and parasailing. I hope in my next life I won't be afraid of heights and then I will be eager to try it then.

if I was in such extreme terms that I might have a heart attack and I'd be scared. wow,,, really tense when doing things that can make people tense. I better just look at it rather than be the one to do it.

If given the chance and if it is for free, I will certainly give it a try. That would be fun and exciting. I'm not a big fan of extreme sports but I think that would be a great experience and I would hate to miss that.

Yes sky diving is considered a sport. And I am very much with you there. I am going no where near a sky diving plane.
