A skydiver friend of mine said that this is what makes skydiving so dangerous; you don't feel like you're falling at such a rapid speed that if you don't pay attention to the altimeter, you could easily miss when you're supposed to open up the chute!Celine | 30 Before 30https://www.blogger.com/profile/14255189150307006460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264507107093536899.post-40842416994458737072011-05-22T19:12:31.684-04:002011-05-22T19:12:31.684-04:00Awesome!

And how did you not feel like you were falling when you jumped out of the plane?! I definitely felt like I was falling!101 Things Before You Diehttp://101thingsbeforeyoudie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264507107093536899.post-71404506928499903812011-05-17T00:51:58.486-04:002011-05-17T00:51:58.486-04:00Sorry to hear that!

Farah -...Thank you for all the wonderful comments!<br /><br />Farah - Thank you! I can hardly believe all the craziness I've gotten into in the past year too!<br />Fran - My girlfriend Tamara is actually afraid of heights too but she conquered her fear! You never know, you may be able to do it, too, someday ...<br />Tish - Haha did you seriously get such a certificate? I just got one that said I jumped. I should look closely, it could be in there ... I wanna try a jump with real recoils! Ahhh this is gonna be a vicious cycle. PS: Did you know AJ Hackett's Bali bungee is no more? Area's being turned into a high rise. Darnit, would've loved to go!<br />Lach - From one adrenaline junkie to another ... we are doomed to keep seeking out bigger thrills! But this is definitely an awesome one. I am so excited for you!<br />Cece - Some would say batsh*t but I'll take brave! Thanks!<br />Tara - Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to think I've inspired others, and I'm really glad if I have!

But my husband and I had a deal--we would just jump after the countdown. No stalling!<br /><br />Our jump in Bali had a couple of recoils, and he found it hilarious that I screamed each time.<br /><br />Hurray for bungee jumps!

You can get it cheaper without the video and pics but you need proof!!! I think it's worth it.

We're going to HK this August and I plan to drag the hubby to do this with me. It'll be my (one) thing to do before I turn 30. Haha!Verlnoreply@blogger.com
