Berk Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I might have the opportunity to jump out of a plane (not above rushup edge :( ) and parachute next month or so, but I'm a huge chicken so I probably won't do it anyway. I was wondering if anybody on WATMM has ever parachuted. If so, was it a pleasant experience? :undecided: bet there will be loads of Xtreme stories in here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I want to do that so badly, but the opportunity's never arose (or I've never really sought it out). Don't be a pussy, do it! Take pictures from the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 did it once, it was fun. Best part was letting go of the aircraft, worst part was the damn straps biting into my crotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 My mom went sky diving, only person on the plane that didn't chicken out. She said it was a serene 10 mins. your mom is soo cool lol. Serene despite the fact that her immense breasts were no doubt pummeling her face? Seriously, I think it'd be hard to chicken out. I went up on a plane with about 15 other people, they all jumped. It's almost always the case that the first jump is a tandem jump, it'd be hard to lose your nerve with an instructor on your back egging you on, or maybe even giving you the last push. I found the best part by far to be leaving the plane; you have to turn with your back to the door and grip the sides, when you get yourself braced in the doorway the wind really starts whipping at you and you can feel the reality of "you are about to hurl yourself from a functioning aircraft, this is not something you should be doing." Then you have to push yourself backwards and clear of the plane, and as you do this the plane kind of somersaults away from your field of view, which was a rush. The rest of it I found less exciting - without the aircraft there, you kind of lose your frame of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 If the second guy you're talking about is the base jumper whose chute hit the dam, that's one of my favorite examples of the primal scream/grunt of serious pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Jesus owns, nigga did you hear about the dude who's parachute never opened and all that happened was he got two broken legs? you should be fine lol goddammit The only person I know who parachuted once didn't like it at all. Good to hear about people that thought it was fun or great. The thing is, I pretty much hate rollercoasters and stuff like that (I get nauseaous most of the times), so I'm kind of worried that parachuting won't go down well with me either (see what I did there).

Guest assegai Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 NICOLAS CAGE - CAGE TAKES UP HANG GLIDING But Cage insists he won't be taking up any other extreme sports any time soon. He adds, "Skydiving doesn't interest me at all. There's no muscle in my body that tells me to jump out of an airplane. I just don't get it."

Guest abusivegeorge Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This is a great idea, be sure to rig everybody elses parachute before jumping though, so that your the only one that lands safely and you'll look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caustic Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 replace the other parachutes with anvils and silverware. like in looney tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idrn Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 not impressed by the fake somerset/cornwall accents... re: parachuting though - yes, do it! you only live once, so even if you fucking hate it, at least you've gained a crazy life experience. can't say i've done it myself but i fully intend to - i'm one of those annoying XtReMe types. how expensive is it?

Guest Helper ET Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 no way id do this. plummeting to my death no thank you. ever heard of someone fainting from being too overwhelmed or whatever? well, goddamnit whats stopping you from passing out mid-fall and not being conscious to open your chute? seems pretty dumb! i mean i get why people do it but cmon, you might freak out and pass out, and then *poof*, you dont exist. is it really worth it for the rush, the ada....?
