I'm 6'5" and afraid of heights. Go figure.

Not me. I don't like heights one bit, and jumping out of a plane has never sounded like a fun activity to me. Even less so at that height.

Fear is not rational, fear of low beams and door-frame lintels would appear more rational, but then that's not so much being fearful as being prudent.

I have gotten hurt more than once on low beams and doorways, twice resulting in trips to the emergency room. When I eventually go bald everyone will be able to see the scars, and I can be a stunt double in horror movies.

I would definitely want to do this kind of thing sometime in my life. I met a few people that tried it and not a single one of them said I shouldn't do it. So as much as I wanna do it, when the money time comes, my balls might get jigi with me.

It's probably one of those life-changing experiences where initial terror is replaced by inner peace and understanding, like primal scream therapy or something.

From that high up how do they even know he's not going to land on a tree or a person or a land mine or a trampoline? Surely the amount of horizontal drift on the way down is enormous.

If I had no other choice I might. But I wouldn't put myself in that position in the first place.
