Am I the only one?

Recommended Posts

Ok. Got a question. Am I the only one who, when reading a skydiving story, or watching a skydiving video, begins to feel as if they are going to have a heart attack, hyperventalate, scream, or basically just start flashing back to freefall? I sit here for hours reading and watching video's getting high off every one!!! :D

Basically, yeah, you're a freak.

Personally, my palms just sweat when I think hard about skydiving. If I'm watching someone else do it, I'm OK. But if I'm visualizing being part of it, waterworks. Plays hell with my gloves in the plane. :)

if by your question you mean does watching skydiving videos get your blood boiling thne um yeah me too. In fact I saw a terrible movie the other night. "Cutaway". Oh man it was awfull so I watched three times that night. I couldn't figure out why I had to keep watching it because the acting was so bad then I realized that more than 40 minutes of the film is skydiving! Um maybe I should seek help for my addiction. Nah, I can quit anytime. I am fine. Gonna go jump now;).

Ok, I thought I was the only one! My palms are sweating right now just thinking about it! (But in a good way.) :D

I had that too when I was still a new jumper. Do you know how to get even more excited? Watch the clips of people pulling low... that cypres one comes to mind. Those still get my heart pumping and I have to make sure I'm not screaming "PULLLLL!!!" at the computer :D

Yeah, I have one where the guy cuts away at like 300 or 400 feet. By the time his reserve inflates, he's probably not more than 50 feet from the ground...it scares me everytime.
