Oh my - scary! No thanks. I know someone who did it once - he said it was "exhilerating", an "exciting", but it is not for me. Sorry!!!

Perhaps it is that srange, macho "man" thing they get sometimes! LOL! Perhaps you could go and watch without taking part? A friend of mine bungee-jumped off the top of this huge tower in Vienna onece, and I went to watch and give "moral" support! Couldn't do it myself though!!

YES! Yes Yes Yes yes yes!!! I went on a tandem jump with my ex-husband and it was the most frightening and exhilerating and breathtaking thing I've ever done (except having kids of course, but this is a whole differnt realm!) It helped to do it tandem (with an experienced jumper strapped to your back who controls the chute), he rocked me twice and pushed me out the door, we did two rolls and then "popped" into freefall position and I opened my eyes and have never ever felt anything like it. I would say - if you can get the guts up to do it - do it. Even if you never do it again, it is an experience I can't imagine you will ever regret.

lol - that's why it's good to be strapped to a professional who will push you out the door! :-) I never would have jumped on my own!

My wife wants to and I will never do it. I am a big baby and she is a huge risk taker. Opposites attract, and we are a good example of it. It sounds like we are the opposite of your relationship. Oh well, I think a lot of relationships are like this.

I haven't and I doubt I ever will. That is another of these things I will never do. It's right next to bungie jumping.

No but I would try it if I can afford it. I don't know how much it is over here yet. I think it's safer than bungee jumping and after all I am more afraid to water than air.

I went a few years ago. It was absolutely amazing! Nothing like it in the world. I honestly never got scared until they opened the door and I knew my turn to jump was coming up soon. I remember just taking a deep breath and saying "Oh crap, here we go!". If you are even remotely considering it but still having doubts I suggest either calling up your local skydiving place and asking lots of questions or seeing if you can take a tour and sit in on one of their classes.
