Ugh I cannot even bear to imagine it! I am such a scaredy cat. Better make sure you have insurance on your head before you try it!

Well, what are some of the other things? You could easily make a post on that, saving up for those future things. Go hunting in Africa, swimming the coral reef, climb mount Everest. Everyone talks about having to live now too, lets hear what some of those things are, and how you are trying to be able to do them!

HMB,

Skydiving was sweet. It was something I’ve always wanted to do, but probably never would have taken the initiative to do on my own. Thankfully there was a group of people going, so it was the perfect excuse. It’s definitely one of those things to put on the “to do in this lifetime” list or the bucket list. I’ve still got a couple more things on my list to do. I’ll have to get to it!

Pete,

I’ve watched several WWII movies with scenes of paratrooper jumps. What an amazing thing they did!

My jump was done while strapped to a certified skydiver, and he was in control of much of the jump, including taking us out the side of the plane. If you ever get the chance to do it, it is a very cool experience!

Wow.. that’s all i can say. I would love to do that someday, but it’d be tough to get to that door and jump out.

I’m reading a book right now about the 101st airborne in world war II. They jumped out of planes into a war zone – bullets wizzing by, flak exploding around them and jumping out of flaming airplanes.. So hey – it could be worse!

LOL. No, I did a tandem jump – I was strapped to a certified skydiver. Those guys in the video are good though!

Wow! This look like something I want to do. However, I’m too chick$hit to go at it. One of those bucket’s list type.

No thanks for me.

But which one are you in the video…you’re amazing for a first time jumper.

Congrats! I went skydiving in ‘99 to get over my fear of heights. I loved it. I was more worried about whether my shoelaces were tied tight enough cause I didn’t want them to fall off. The view was incredible. I wouldn’t mind jumping again, but I would be afraid to do a solo jump.
