We are not crazy... WE ARE AMAZING!

Personal note: I would never do this in a million years!

That's right...buck buck buck buck...I am chicken!

1. Actually I did it when I was young and crazy.

But that was way back in the early 60s when sky diving was a new thing and we did not have the equipment that they do today...we used standard military parachutes with panels cut out in the back to give some forward thrust...and we jumped with a reserve chute...and not off of buildings.
But I would not do it now...I lost my desire for thrills somewhere in growing up.

8. Yup, I skydived in my younger years,

but stopped while I still had unbroken bones. I decided to stay in the plane and learn to fly it. I definitely would not skydive now, as I am too old.

9. I made 15 jumps.

And one day I was in the second load and watching the first load go, and one of the guys had a steamer...and we watched him fall until just before the ground and he pulled his reserve and it pooped open just before he hit the ground...he had about one second of hang time...And it was his first jump.
After that I lost my taste for the thrill....and guess what, I took up flying too.

5. More "guts" than I could ever muster.

Looks great! But OMG, I could never! I actually think I would prefer this over bungee jumping, however.

6. Actually, by the end of the jumps,

What had been thousands of feet in height was reduced to only a few hundred because;

of all the testosterone that had leaked out of the jumpers as they did their thing.

I'd do this stuff, but other than being a pussy, I have 3 pounds of titanium acting as half of my spinal column.

I know, excuses, excuses....

7. I actually laughed out loud at the end of the first video when the prone guy was 'pranked'.

10. A few lines from a pilot.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
