Probably not for a weird reason.  It sounds like fun, and I would imagine that it is fairly safe.  However, being strapped that closely to another individual, a STRANGER, would just make me too uncomfortable! 


You'd probably know them pretty well after that experience!

I'd like to free fall strapped to Channing Tatum. :-)

 

Well, I'd reconsider if I'd have my choice of...strapees? LOL

Re: Have you or would you skydive?

 

I did it, back before my brain turned on totally.

 

Did it enough that I was allowed to free-fall, pull my own ripcord, and a few times after that.

 

Glad I did it.  

 

Would not even consider it now, I would shatter into 1,000 pieces.

Never, I have to have a few drinks before I even board a plane, let alone jump out of one.

I’m glad I did it when I was younger. I don’t think I could talk myself into doing it again, but it was exhilarating.

Re: Have you or would you skydive?

   When I first dated my husband he was in the Army and I was interested in freefalling. I always liked roller coasters, skiing, etc and skydiving looked like fun. 

    He had been Airborne Ranger but he broke his ankle on a jump. He told me I'd be crazy to try it. 
     After we were married he was at a school and I worked in the same building. The jump towers were just outside my window on the 6th floor we could see them well. Occasionally a soldier blow back and would get stuck on the tower and they would have to get him down. 
      Driving home one afternoon he pointed to a stuck soldier and told me "that's what can happen". I told him I would be jumping from a plane, the towers were worse. 
      He just looked at me and shook his head! 
       I never jumped.

Re: Have you or would you skydive?

Nope. If I eve fly, I'll have to take a nerve tablet to make it on the plane. Skydiving is nothing I have any desire to do. But, happy for those who want to that get to.
