I did sky diving and it was amazing. Don't think I'd do it again though.
I'd love to take a hot air balloon ride. But I worry too much about crashing.

Re: Changing the topic...........

God. It’s unfortunate but I’m afraid of so many things. And i have no idea why. I get irrational fears stuck in my head and can’t get past it

Anything with heights
Anything with deep water (even snorkeling - unless you can walk around and do it at the shore)
Motorcycles

I know there’s more. Pretty much anything thrilling that has even the smallest chance of killing you-I won’t do it lol

But I like to pretend I’ll do these things one day. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried some stuff and was like NOPE.

Re: Changing the topic...........

I'd have to concur about the skydiving and motorcycles....
I'm not afraid of falling, it's the abrupt stop at the bottom that scares me. :D

I like the idea of motorcycles, and I love riding my bike in the trails, but drivers scare me. Even in my full-size pickup truck, I get nervous about other drivers. There's no way I could drive without some type of cage around me.
Maybe dirt bikes, or completely private roads that I could guarantee no other vehicles. I'm OK with "injury defying" activities, but not "death defying"....

Cage diving with Great White Sharks

I think I would actually do it if it wasn't so expensive and have to travel to get to a location

I'd love to do a helicopter ride or hot air balloon ride. DH was actually going to take me on a helicopter ride for an anniversary when we were younger, but my mom talked him out of it and said I wouldn't do it. She's probably right- but I kind of want to now!

I've been scared of heights for so long that none of that stuff seems remotely appealing to me - don't want to skydive, mountain climbing, bungee jump, etc. I guess the only thing that I might be interested in would be a helicopter ride or parasailing.

I did a helicopter ride in Myrtle Beach and I was petrified! I had my eyes closed for a few minutes and my brother kept yelling at me to open themChat Icon I finally did. But I couldn't wait till we landed.

I did Parasaling in Key West. It was incredible.

I wouldn't do it again though. One and done. With them all...Chat Icon

I know I would LOVE sky diving. The part that TERRIFIES me is that step out of the airplane. I cannot for the life of me imagine taking that "first" step from the plane into "nothing." It's the same for me with zip lining. I've gone zip lining a bunch of times and love it - except for taking that step off the platform - that part is almost excruciatingly scary for me (but I still do it because I love the experience aside from that!

I would do a lot of those things given the chance.
I've done skydiving, ziplining, parasailing, had a motorcycle.

Helicopter, Hot air balloon, rockclimbing and bungee jumping sound like fun, I'd be up for that given the reason/opportunity.

Diving with teh sharks--- ehh, maybe? I'm sensitive to pressure in my head. so deep sea stuff I would pass on. Also tight spaces.

assuming you're not activity freaking out and you do a tandem jump skydiving, the first step isn't hard, the person you're strapped to basically pushes you out. It is very freeing exciting and peaceful all at once. I'd do it frequently if it wasn't expensive.

Motorcycle was a great experience for a while, I quit b/c honestly I didn't have anyone to go with, and I was afraid of distracted drivers after a while. If i lived upstate I'd still own one.

a few years ago I did ziplining at a place in PA that on one of teh runs gave you a bit more slack, told you to close your eyes and effectively do a backwards free fall. It was a freaky feeling

I was at the Great Barrier Reef "snorkeling" with a pool noodle because I was scared to death but didn't want to miss out on seeing as much as I could.

I've done a tethered hot air balloon. That was pretty cool. I'd love to do a non-tethered flight.

Went on a helicopter flight on my honeymoon in Hawaii. That was awesome!

Bungee jumping.. In theory, The daredevil in me would love to, but the thought of being by myself strap to a rope terrifies me lol. I’ve been skydiving and would 100% do it again, I guess because you aren’t alone.
