Yeah, definitely don’t try to skydive from that height.

I’ve always wanted to go, but never did. Likely never will after two major surgeries.

Where'd they cut you, dad?

My neck and back.

Spoiler: show

not my p*ssy or my crack.

Shake your body, don't stop, don't miss

nvm that's base jumping

No way I could ever do it. Too afraid the ‘chute wouldn’t open.

Jump off a short one story roof with an umbrella as a kid. Didn’t work out that well.

Would be awesome but the anxiety leading up to it would be too much. Also I could see myself not remembering it much cuz I’d black out or disassociate or whatever.

Mary Poppins makes it look so easy, too.

it looks great in theory but unless the plane is going down in flames and someone hands me a parachute i dont see it happening. hell if they handed me a parachute as the plane was going down i may just accpet my fate

I've always wanted to do it, ever since I saw the opening scene of the first Power Rangers movie

Honestly if your looking for a thrill I'd recommend bungy jumping over skydiving. Thought skydiving would be amazing - and in all fairness it was pretty cool, but your so high up that by the time you start to get any real ground-rush the chute (in theory) is already open

Until it opens you can never be sure

This makes sense if it's a rush or a thrill you're looking for. But that's not what's interesting or attractive to me about sky diving. Alternately, it's why I never want to go bungy jumping.

I’m in the risk averse camp, imagining the chute not opening. I would try the indoor skydiving though even though the probability of twisting or straining myself would be higher than a chute not opening and becoming pancake batter on the surface of the earth.

My wife was sore af after doing the indoor thing several years ago.

Yeah, exactly. Sometimes the easier thing is what will get you killed. Or maimed.
