My BIL jumped out of an airplane to celebrate his 61st birthday yesterday. He sent us the video--looks like a complete blast.
I have no desire to try that myself, but it did look pretty awesome.
@AnitaLL OMG that must be a total mindf*ck
@rpardee I’m afraid of heights but I tried it for one of my birthdays. I felt like the airplane ride up to altitude was scarier than the actual jump( I did a tandem). Once we were out the door there was no sensation of falling. It was loud and it was cold (February) but not at all scary. When the parachute opened up it was as very peaceful.
@rpardee I walked a plank from a highrise in VR and couldn’t convince my brain that I wasn’t going to fall, can’t imagine actually jumping from an airplane.
