There are many people in this world who would love to go skydiving, while there are probably even more who wouldn't go if their life depended on it.

I want to know what AG thinks. Would you ever go skydiving? Why or why not?

I personally would never go skydiving. Not because of fear of freefalling from thousands of feet in the air, but more because my life would depend at that point on following directions perfectly. I'm terrible at following directions, so if there's some special way to get the parachute to work, I'd never be able to do it. I'd just land splat on the ground below (or splash if it's the ocean).

What about you?

I would never go sky diving, I'm terrified of heights.

I agree with your reason, plus that fact that I would be to freaked out to follow instructions.

I would love to go skydiving, I have always wanted to ever since I can remember. The only that makes me not want to sometimes is hearing about faulty pull switches on the backpack. But, I would still love to though.

I hate the feeling of falling, or about to fall, or even the possibility of falling, so.. jumping out of a plane, scary sh*t xD
Not the best idea, wouldn't do it as a hobby by myself but if I were to go with mates as a one off, I would definitely do it.

If there was a way so that the parachute went off automatically, and it never failed, then I would go skydiving. It's the fact that my life is in my own hands, and my hands are terrible with life, that I will probably never go skydiving.

I'm planning to go on my eighteenth birthday with a few of my friends. I still can't wait, skydiving is a once in a life thing. (Except if you do a special career)

It seems like it would be really scary and really fun at the same time...
Maybe a bit too risky for me, so no, I would not go skydiving unless there was a 100% guarantee that I would NOT die.

This air force guy fell from like 1500 feet with no parachute into snow and ended up with only a broken leg.

Here's the directions for working your parachute.
Jump wait 20 seconds, blink three times, pray to Allah, pray to Jesus, pray to Yaweh(Yaveh), thank Angelina Jolie for adopting all her children, name all of said children, pull the rip cord and repeat.
Me: -Jumps-, -waits twenty second-, prays to Allah, -prays to Jesus-, -forgets what was said and starts over-, -loses track of what I'm supposed to be doing-, -starts over again-, -gets lost whenever I'm trying to count to twenty-...Splat...
Haha no skydiving.
