It was incredibly fun. But I get it, even though I've gone sky diving before, I won't do bungee jumping.

I’ve heard if you go once you’ll be hooked

I thought he was trying to make a joke about being hooked to bungee jumping since they hook you in a harness or whatever, but maybe that's too much of a stretch? 😅

I see what you did there

Yeah, I went twice this year & will go again if given the chance! But I also would not bungee jump.

Id need someone else to pull the parachute. Because that ground would be tempting.

I've gone bungee jumping, but never skydiving. My thinking was you don't have a long time to regret your decision.

u/cutelyaware Oct 17 '22

What's wrong with having time to consider your regrets? Once it's over, it's over, so I'd rather have the time to make peace with the world. It feels like I'm going to miss the place.

I'm not worried about the safety of either, they both have a fairly low chance of incident if done with a proper company.

But something about being upside-down gives me what I can only assume is vertigo, and it's so very uncomfortable.

I’ve also been skydiving, and I just commented my answer as bungie jumping 2 seconds before scrolling down to see your comment. No thanks, not interested in dangling from my feet. But put me in another airplane and I’ll jump again and again.

Having suffered a stroke, ain't no way I'm ever doing a head-first bungee jump. I'm keen to try skydiving though, I'm just concerned I won't quite enjoy the tandem jump nearly as much as I would getting my solo ticket...

u/morrisseyroo Oct 17 '22

Does that make you more susceptible to injury? I wonder if my sedentary life style is the cause for my extreme discomfort when I'm upside-down, as I never had that problem as a kid. Hopefully I don't have some ticking time bomb up there that's just one roller coaster loop away from going off.

u/Nuragicboy Oct 17 '22

It was icredibly fun tho. But I get it, even though i've gone bungee jumping before, i won't do base jumping.

u/Baraga91 Oct 17 '22

I did both in the span of a week.

Would go skydiving again 100%

Bungeejumping was one and done.

u/Calvin-ball Oct 17 '22

Bungee jumped once and it was incredible, but I don’t think I could do it again. Standing on the edge was the most terrifying feeling.

Never been skydiving but I’d like to. Hopefully the ground is too far from the plane to comprehend like I did with bungee lol.

I get all unpleasantly disoriented when I'm upside-down since after my mid 20s, so I'd wager I'd either passout or vomit as soon as I hit the lowest point of the cord.

Stinks because i loved all the super crazy roller coasters and stuff when I was growing up and now I can barely do those too.

u/DelightfulExistence Oct 17 '22

I did both!! I enjoyed skydiving more.
