I’ve always wanted to _________________but I’ve never been brave enough.” @IreneVincent This is a question that was asked and I had to think about it a bit before I replied. The idea is to fill in the blank so here goes.... "I’ve always wanted to go sky driving but I’ve never been brave enough.” I watch it on TV and I have seen it at various community fairs and I always think that it looks like so much fun and would be such a thrill but then I hear the stories of times when things went wrong and I can't make myself do it. I am just not brave enough because I fear I would be the one who would have something go wrong. I read stories about people in their 80s and even 90s who go sky diving because it is something they always wanted to do so I guess you are never too old! Maybe some day I will get brave enough but I guess time will tell. I will never say never because anything is possible. Has anybody here been sky diving before or would you like to?

My nephew went skydiving and loved it so much, he did it again. I always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, and finally did it last November in Turkey. It was awesome!

I used to want to sky dive, but now that I'm older and have a family, I know there is more to lose . . . so I'll let others enjoy sky diving .

@Happy2BeMe Two of my sons have been sky diving. I don't think I would like to do that, though.

Never have, never will. Scared of heights. Jumping out of a plane would be enough to put me into cardiac arrest. There are many things I want to do but haven't done for one reason or another.

Nope. I am just scared as you are. My son is a parachuter and he bungee jump as well. The last time he bungee jumped was in the place in Italy where James Bond jumped in the movie. I am already scared of what he is doing.

It will be a very awesome thing to do! I would like to do it together with my boyfriend someday in the future. On the other hand, I am not that brave. In fact, I rode a roller coaster with my boyfriend before and I was very afraid. I could not open my eyes. I was just screaming on the whole ride. I wonder how could I go sky diving in the future.

Nope! Sky diving is not on my bucket list. Scratch that. Scratch mountain climbing. Scratch walking on a tight rope. Scratch being a trapeze artist. Scratch anything risky like that.
