Scaredy cat!

the idea of jumping out of a perfectly good plane is a no for me
There was the one recently where a woman had a sky dive experience bought by her other half for her birthday
It was a tandem jump both her and the instructor died

Then there was the very experienced sky diver she killed herself by jumping

I was terrified of it, but as soon as you’re outside the plane the shock/fear after 5 seconds gets replaced with amazement at the view.

That's why I'd need the instructor you're strapped to, to just push us out while I had my eyes closed. Doubt I'll ever do one at this point though :laugh:

Oh yeah, the instructor I was with was first out and opened the door, so I had little time to comprehend we were leaving the plane. :laugh:

No word of a lie

This was the 90s, I'm amazed they even gave us parachutes

Still considering the pros and cons m

Bungee-jump? Slightly less intense than sky-riding outright.

I think I'd probably do the food kitchen stuff.

Yeah, I’ve done a bit of Food-Bank in my time. It’s not bad.

Yeah. There’s all sorts you can do for charity, really. Just what you’re comfortable with.

I would be homeless for a month to raise money for ex servicemen sleeping rough on the streets.
