I caught bits of it
I can see the thrill but dont see the sense of jumping off terra firma to trust your life in a big hanky and bits of string
But then I'm not great with heights |

fear of heights would be the least of your worries!
fear of ground more like it

I am not scared of heights, I am however scared of falling from heights.
Scared silly of hitting the ground from high up and being reduced to person chutney. |

I think even they would admit its not a good idea!
Always been a fan of firm dry land.
Just come back from the coast, but like my hills and a good distance from the sea just in case.

Its a bit of a contradiction, but I'd have to be tanked up to jump of the bloody thing to start with, but then you don't want to be tanked up to do that sort of thing. Mental, but if it floats your particular boat, then do it.
The base jumpers probably think we're nuts for drinking.
I used to be a Landscape Gardener, but fell out of a tree with a running chainsaw, flying through the air, I saw my mate on the ground and held the chainsaw away from him, but dislocated my shoulder in a very nasty way. Two ops later, and I had to give it up and take to the road in my truck. Now I brick it at anything over a very small set of step laddres.
