Only if the plane were about to crash into the side of a mountain. Otherwise, I can see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I have type one diabetes, and all that adrenaline and fear, and the rush of it all would pretty much guarantee my blood sugar dropping dangerously low, throwing me into a diabetic coma. So, no.

I think there needs to be a new extreme sport that consists of going down in the ocean in a submarine with the express purpose of swimming back to the surface.

The thought of free falling makes my skin crawl.

Yeah I would, it must've been awesome, in both senses of the word. And considering the prep and work with NASA and etc I would've actually felt much safer doing this over sky diving. Though after this no roller coaster would ever be fun so that's a downside |

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.

I like to think I would, but it seems like a bit too much empty macho posturing to say HELL YEAH while sitting here in front of my computer. But I've gone bungie jumping and ridden every roller coaster/free fall ride I've been in a position to go on, so I think there's a good chance that if I somehow convinced Red Bull to give me a balloon I'd go through with it.  -------------
