A question, please give an honest answer:

Do any of your guys actually enjoy that?

Or is it just for the kick, or to be able to speak about it?

I always wanted to go skydiving. I treated myself to it in honor of graduating college. I got a video and sent it home to my mother. After I landed I turned to the camera "I told you it's safe!". My mother was kind of speechless when she called me 3 days later

I'm a thrill seeker. Extreme bungee jumping seems to be the step below this. I've thought of shark diving in a cage...

To me extreme bungee jumping would be even more thrilling than this.

When you jump out of a place, you don't "see" what your hurtling towards. When you jump off a bridge, you can very much see what will happen if things go wrong...

Have you ever gone skydiving?

When you jump out you see the world for miles, you feel yourself falling at a high rate of speed, the world coming at you faster then you think, there's a lot to see here..

Probably more than you have

I know you can "see" the the earth. That wasn't my point. All I am saying is that I assume (as I only can do because I haven't been bungee jumping) that bungee jumping instills a great fear/thrill because you can see with greater detail the rocks/water below.

If it helps my explanation, I'd personally be more fearful/thrilled to jump off the empire state building than out of a plane.

You don't like having <60 seconds before you may potentially die to think about it, as opposed to skydiving where you have enough time to take a nap before you hit the ground. Noted.

Yup !

I think everyone can agree that is forsure the most extreme

coregis · « **Reply #36 on:** January 09, 2012, 11:33:09 PM »

I'll put my .02 in and say bungee jumping is much scarier/extreme/whatever. Skydiving is fun but the free fall is surprisingly very peaceful. I get a long and and intense adrenaline rush from bungee jumping, hardly anything like that at all with skydiving. YMMV of course.
