No and Not sure I think I would like to but unless someone actually pushed me out of the plane I don't think I would do it.

no, even before my b-i-l died skydiving a couple of years ago. what a waste of a great person and he had over 300 jumps and was filming new jumpers when he died. (my sister has never watched the film that was removed from his helmet camera, although her attorney gave it to her and said bill never relized he was that close to the ground when he emergency chute did not have time to open completely). just way too risky a sport for me. the what-ifs are too much.

I'm afraid of heights and I don't like to fly, so there is no way!

No, never been think the only way I could have enough courage to do it and not chicken out at the last minute is if my hubby went with me...he gives me courage everyday.

No and probably not...even though I consider myself a creature of the water and air; happier there than on dry land.

Example: I LOVE to fly in small single engine planes; started out in passenger seat with friend who was getting license; later took a couple lessons on my own. Teacher said I would probably make a good pilot. Biggest kick was when with an acquaintance and he turned the controls over to me for 2 hours as we headed due West from Connecticut to a grass air strip in Pennsylvania.

I have often thought of hang-gliding, but somehow the straight jump from the airplane would be a bit much for me, I think, so qualified "No."

No, and probably not. I'd like to think I would, but if I am going to be honest here, I think I'd wuss out.

Oh, Tabby, how awful, hon.

No and no for me.

I'm not scared of heights, so that's not the issue. I'm way past the years when I'd consider it--unless my life depended on it. But armed with info from a friend, I wouldn't do it for fun even if I were younger.

I worked with someone who'd been in the Air National Guard and loved jumping. Smart, fit, good-looking guy in, I'd guess, his late twenties or early thirties--with a wife and one-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, he did permanent damage to his back from jumping so much. He could walk; it's just that he felt 'old' before his time from the damage. He told me all it takes is one bad jump. Could have been way worse, as Tabby related. I'd say the thrill is just not worth the risk.

no, but i came thisclosetojumping. after everyone "jumped" there was a "graduation". i was called up front and the instructor told my friends in our group about my great jump. ???

sorry, i like to call sky diving, jumping for some stupid reason. oh, i forgot to explain, i chickened-out (sp?) while in the plane. i'll have to tell you about the "instructors" later. too funny.

also, the only harm done to humans in our group...my friend runs up with a champagne bottle to congratulate another friend...chips his tooth with the bottle. lol
