Experiences like Sky Diving?
- Thread starter Pocket10s
- Start date
Wing walking and solo sky diving, assuming the friend did a tandem. It takes more time/effort/money to do, but the rush of throwing yourself out of a plane and being in control of your own destiny (to an extent) is far more than being strapped to someone else.

When i went travelling I did bungee jump, scuba diving, sky diving and white water rafting.
I'd say the 2 scariest and most rewarding for me was scuba and rafting. I am terrible in water and overcame fears to complete my padi open water and do grade v rafting..

was there a particular part of it - I mean the freefall or once the shoot was opened?
for the former why not try an bungee jump or zip line or rollercoasters
for the latter why not look into paragliding, hang gliding, or erm.. gliding

Learn to scuba. I got my PADI Open water last week in Malta and I've fallen in love with it. Booked on an Advanced course soon and off to Sierra Leone scuba diving to wrecks in November.
I almost ran this as a tour at work
, was going to do a raffle for it to try and keep it "budget".

yes i was going to type bungee jumping, but as above, they have all been covered.
its cheap and cheerful doesn't take any training period, compared to sea diving, it's probably the 2nd best to skydiving for out of control adrenaline.

Putting on your Mum's bifocals, jeez, I was dizzy for hours.
Sky diving yep, but never fall out with [ or shag the partner of ] the person who packs your parachute.

Cow tipping.
Having done both I think bungee jumping is by far more exhilarating. You effectively are doomed until the rope kicks in.
No floating and then falling slowly. It's ground here I come, face first.
I'm going on a mile long zip line in North wales soon, and have done about everything exhilarating you can. I wish it were easy to do the wing jumping as I'd love to do that. Sadly I bet it takes years of training.
My top list would be.
1. Bunjee
2. Sky diving.
3. Single seater race cars
4. Motorbikes
5. Scuba diving.
6. Abseiling
7. GO Karting.
8. Canyoning
9. White Water rafting
10. Shooting guns

I did this and it was quite the rush. Trying to grab the winch whilst dangling upside down, shaking like a ****ting dog from adrenaline was also an experience!
Due to the curvature of the dam, your mind is convinced that you are going to splat straight into it. No amount of logic and science will convince you otherwise at that time.
