I had a boyfriend in my younger years that skydived all the time. I'd go watch him alot but then he tried talking me into and I just didnt have the nerve. Makes it kinda hard to jump from an airplane when you're afraid of heights and have a fear of faaaaaaalling. LOL

This may sound strange, but skydiving feels nothing like falling.

Because you are so high in the air, you don't see the ground rushing up to meet you (like when you fall). You feel like you are just standing in mid air, with a 200mph wind blowing by.
