I'm just interested

Now, you're probably all expecting me to tell a scary tale of my own. Rather bizarrely, I'm not sure that I've ever done anything that scary!! I'm too much of a wimp to contemplate it!

A friend of mine did a parachute jump and a bungey jump. He said he loved the parachute jump but would never ever even think of doing another bungey jump!

Set myself on fire, whilst asleep.

Alarming, I think we can say.

Unexpectedly gone solo in Piper Warrior after six hours tuition.

yeah I've done sky diving too and I'd prefer to Sky dive from 14000ft than bungy from 200m. Sounds strange but you've got time to get used to falling on a sky dive, plus you're horizontal in the air as opposed to falling head first on a bungy...glad I did it, but wouldnt do it again.

altering the fuel setting on an airliner engine (rolls RB211), when its at full throttle!.....was crapping myself!
a couple of steps forward and i'd have been sucked up, a couple of steps back, and i'd have been blown away!

Jumping off this thing www.skyjump.co.nz/ was pretty scary. Didn't take advantage of my free second jump

I should also add the question: do you regret doing it?

Mmm.. I wonder why they offer a free second jump then? Maybe its because no-one ever wants to!

I regret that, since having done it, I haven't been able to do (any) more of it.

The first time I hovered a helicopter was pretty scarey, every time I thought about what I was doing I tensed up. Then I had to fly backwards and kept having visions of digging the tail rotor in the mud.

Not all - the Japanese guy who jumped just before me went straight back up. Nutcase!

I went straight to the bar for a stiff drink...
