Jumping of a bridge tied with rubber band is not my idea of fun. That and skydiving. I can't see the fun of jumping from a perfectly fine flying airplane. The only way you could get me to jump is if the wings fall off, and even then you would have to push me. :smilelol5:

It is amazing to me how little value people place on their own lives.

Go ahead TAM, don't let fear and common sense hold you back...

I've been skydiving before, but I don't think I could ever go bungee jumping. On a side note, when my family was in Vegas my 8 year old daughter rode the Zip-line on Freemont Ave. It was great She begged me to let her go, We paid got her all the way up, they hooked her up and were getting ready to go when she was crying and screaming she didn't want to do it and was scared. I told them to push her. She cried for all but the last 3 or so seconds of the zip-line then was happy, got off met wife and other kids at the bottom walked back to where I was and asked if she could go again. 8 year-old logic. (The only reason I know she cried for all but the very end is my nephew was on a zip-line right beside her and went the same time they pushed her and told me that's what happened).
