You have to do it right!  It's like religion.  There's dippers and there's dunkers.  You sure as hell want to be just a dipper.

My "thrillseeking" has been running in burning buildings when everyone else is running out... that's enough for me. Someone asked me once had I ever tried parachuting.... my reply was "I've never been in a plane that was crashing". ;D

Reminds me a lady that was standing on the tarmac when I was doing flight training.  She was there waiting on her grandson who worked at the FBO pouring fuel in airplanes.  The lady was about 173 years old but was a fixture around the airport.  She asked if I was going up for a lesson.  When I told her that yes I was she said "well you just be careful, go low and slow."  Her heart was in the right place so no one ever told her you wanted more time and a better glide rate than a well thrown rock.

As much as my job required dealing w/heights I never got comfortable enough to get away from keeping three points of contact at all time. Just not my cup of tea.
