Skydiving

[Alex]

Skydiving, is basically jumping out of planes. (with parachutes, so you won't plunge to your death). Most of the people I've met are nervous to do Sky Diving or even Tandem Jumps (attached to a sky diver), because of heights. Have you ever tried Sky Diving or a Tandem Jump? If so, did you overcome any fears and is it something you continue to do?

I've never tried sky diving but it's something on my bucket list. I'll definitely try it in the future when I travel abroad. It's there in India too if I'm not wrong but I want to try it somewhere outside only.

Unfortunately, this is something I would never be interested in doing because of how risky it is. Anything can go wrong at any point in time which will definitely result to that person's death instantly.

It's actually very safe if you do tandem jumping (when you jump with a professional); you're attached to the professional jumper, and there's a backup parachute.

I did it once to cross it off my bucket list, and I'm glad I did. It was thrilling, and exciting, and peaceful all together (after the terrifying first minute of being pushed out the plane, and then you glide gracefully for a few minutes, right before hurtling back to the ground again LOL)

The fear of something going wrong in the process of it will never allow to do it. I know that doing it with a professional gives you more assurances that he's good at it, so you shouldn't have to worry about anything but knowing myself too well, I worry a lot.
