Should I go skydiving?

I think dying from a fall at 14,000 feet would be pretty damn terrifying...but I'm signed up and confident it'll be awesome.

The part that is terrifying is the ground rush that starts at about 800 feet above the ground. Before that you don't really notice the ground closing in on you at 100+ mph. But when once you get to the ground rush it's pretty much over unless your reserve deploys properly. Five seconds of fear max. :)

I like that your sig has been changed to reflect your views on dying in planes vs. dying jumping from planes. :o

You will be thinking that just before you jump. :up:

Fair point.

So did Dread survive?
