Skydiving. What kind of crazy person would willfully agree to participate in such a rediculously insane activity?!! Well...maybe me. The question is, do I have the nerve? I know that might sound strange coming from the girl who has no problem jumping off of bridges; but really, the idea of skydiving makes me a little nervous.
People say that bungy jumping is scarier than skydiving--this doesn't make sense to me. I guess it probably has something to do with what physics do to your stomach on the way down. It just seems to me that a skydiving catastrophe would yield far more serious consequences than a bungy jumping accident. I mean think about it for a second, if your bungy cord snaps, it will probably happen when you've stretched the cord to it's fullest length, which will have slown you down, and at which point you will also be closest to the ground...and even if that logic is faulty, there will probably be water at the bottom of the ravine below to cushion the fall ;).On the other hand, if you jump out of a plane, and your parachute doesn't open, you're pretty much out o'luck!
Yet, I'm still contemplating doing it Saturday anway...call me crazy.

To dive, or not to dive, that is is the question...

Do it! If we are going with faulty logic I saw a news report of a woman - 6 weeks pregnant - whose shoot didn't open and she lived - so did the babe. What better reason to do it!

Cim, I've done it and it's so true about it not being as scary as bungee jumping. The scariest part is the actual leaving the plane. After that you are so high, you can't tell what's really going on and you have such a long fall that i thought "if I'm going to die, it still won't be for like two minutes, so enjoy this!"
SCARY!!! but i've heard its a blast! are you still in utah? whats new? you need to email me!:)
Cim*!!!

Cim - you cant leave us on the edge of our seats like this.... Did you do it?!?!
hope all is well and that you are happy. : ) Julia.
So y'all just want to start betting if she did it or not since it's been like 40 DAYS since she's dangled this carrot in front of us?!
...or maybe the skydiving didn't go so well......
I'm betting she DID do it, but hasn't taken time to download her pictures in order to upload them here.
That's why she hasn't responded to our obvious interest...right?
CIM--WHERE ARE YOU? We're all dying to know how it went!!
