How about driving cars?

[scaredyclassic]

it’s there as “passenger cars”. so you can see that it is actually safer to ride you bike than drive your car. sky diving is relatively crazy dangerous, like 500 times more dangerous per hour. i guess the catch is you can spend days or weeks in your car and onlya few minutes sky diving. but your risk is concentrated at that moment.

But your lifetime risk is far great in the car or on the bike.

Scaredy: I’ve got over 200 jumps under my belt (about half in the Army, the other half as a civilian) and I’m still here.

TG is completely right about overcoming your fear and doing it. As we used to say in the Army: Most fun you can have with your clothes on.

I’ve done three HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) and over a dozen LALO (Low Altitude Low Opening) jumps. The LALO jump is performed at about 700′ and you have no reserve chute (if your main chute fails to open at that height, you have no time to deploy your reserve). It is an incredible rush and you’re on the ground before you know it. Matter of fact, the only thing that’ll get your blood humming faster is someone shooting at you (which I don’t recommend).

You should definitely sky dive. It’ll change your entire outlook.
