Would you Skydive

Yes. It's fairly safe, as long as an experienced and trained diver checks all the equipment before hand.

 

I'm sure it's scary as fuck the first time, but I think it would be exciting to try.

I have an irrational fear of being too fat for skydiving (I'm 1.90m and 140kg) and being able to land without breaking my legs (again, size and all) but actually if I can get over that yeah I probably wood. Seems way better than bungie jumping.

Yes and no.

 

I'm not really afraid of doing it, so would do it.. But I wouldn't pay my own money to do it. It just seems not worth it.

Done it before and was initially stressfull /scary for the first time but once falling it was somehow relaxing for me. 

 

But honestly if you want to give it a try, look up a few good skydiving club that does duo jumps with new people and go for it, not gonna say you will not regret the initial jump if you have an insane fear of hights but you will be happy to have done it when you are back on the ground.(atleast it was like that for my first jump)

It is one of the most amazing things you can do, seriously the entire time i never felt fear or anxiety.

 

It's a bizarre feeling of almost feeling complete freedom as if it doesn't matter what's going on down on the ground for the few minutes you're in the sky you're truly free.
