I have taken all these 3 before and I would say I am comfortable with all of them. But if I have to choose, I would say.. a boat. It is small and seems easier to capsize. I can swim but I wouldn't want to be dunked into the water and forced to literally swim for my life. :P

I would hav to say it probably flyin that I'm most afraid of. I don't know why that is though. When I was younger I used to fly back and forth from the states to Germany all the time. Now I think I'd have a rally hard time getting on a plane for some reason.

I more scared when riding on a plane than on a boat or bis ship because it's so hard to escape once there's an accident or when the plane is about to crash. You can not really open that simple the door and jump off using a parachute! However when you're on a ship and it started to sink, all you have to do is grab your life jacket and jump to the sea and swim a little bit farther so that you will not be pulled by the ship once it is sinks. Once you know how to swim, you can also be able to help others from drowning. Well, this is granted that the sea has no sharks at all. lol. Because if it has or any carnivorous eating fishes, you have to keep yourself from being wounded so that they can not smell your blood.

All three scare me.I have a fobia as far as heights are concerned and i don't think a boat would do it for either.Maybe a big ship but who knows...i have never been on a ship.

i don't know swimming so u can guess what scares me most!;) but other than that i m really afraid of the seas and rivers. everytime i m on a boat i have a constant feeling like it would shake suddenly and would throw me into water...i think maybe i have some kind of hydrophobia.lol

The sea scares me most. I dont have what they call sea legs. I also can't swim. Anything i am on sea i turn jelly all of a sudden and it doesn't stop till am back to terra firma.

they say we need to face our fears in order to get over with it. do you think you can try that?

The one that scare me the most is the airplane. It gives the sensation that if you crash you can't survive. The others give the feeling that you can survive but in some case the accidents of boats can be worst then the airplane crash.

both ways it was scary and risky.. the chance of survival is not 100% but i also believe if its time then its time. thanks,.

A boat because if something goes wrong, I can't swim and even if you have the lifejacket, you can still die of hypothermia. I also don't like spending days or weeks to go to a destination on a ship and it could also sink, like the Titanic too. I prefer the airplane because it gets to the destination faster. Unfortanely, something can go wrong with anything you travel in. I just pray for safety lol

hi, people who aren't a swimmer or dont know how to swim always fear on riding a boat or a ship. that is natural. and u are right, travel by plane is much faster and much better. thank you!

I guess riding a boat because I'm not a good swimmer... I've seen on million to one how unlikely you will experience an airplane crash. Big ships are built strong and usually have complete emergency gears like rafts and life vests... Boats on the other hand are more prone to damage.

I am not a strong swimmer, thus boat will post a greater challenge to me if it over turn. Where else on a big ship, there is still a second life line, the safety boat. But on the plane, if it clashes, it is usually too late for you to react. It will be gone in no time.
