Would You Try This? / myLot

I have always wondered what it would be like to jump out of a plane with a parachute strapped to my back, but always talked myself out of it. But yesterday I saw something quite similar that I honestly think that I would try. It's called Parasailing. I was watching a video yesterday of a father and daughter trying it and the little girl had the time of her life. You don't have to jump out of that plane which was the thing that scared me the most. I guess you could describe it as the exact opposite. You are sitting on a boat, strapped onto the parachute and the wind lifts you up. You get to see everything below you which would be awesome and then the boat pulls you back down. I can't think of anything to be afraid of lol. It just sounds pretty close to perfect to me. Has anyone here on MyLots ever tried it?

Yes though am scared of water, as I don't know to swim, I parasailed couple of times. So you are just hundred or little above hundred feets above the ground and also nothing to worry about. It was of course fun. But the real fun and thrill would be when you jump of a plane with a parachute strapped.

I also have a fear of water, but because I drowned when I was a child.

That would be challenging to overcome your fear. That's good for those who don't have heart problem. I won't try it for I'm afraid of height.

I would never do it. Not now that I´m old, but neither when I was young.

No, I don't think I have. I wouldn't want to, either. I hope you get to try it some day.

That sounds too dangerous for me. Maybe I am more afraid of heights than I thought. I don't do roller coaster rides either.

I'm afraid of height and I can't swim, but I would try those if I have a chance. I would do it at least once to know how it feel.

If I were younger I would definitely try parasailing. It looks like fun but I'm not one to jump out of plane

@Hate2Iron I have heard of that too. That sounds very interesting. I have never done it but if you try it tell us what you thought of it afterwards and if you would do it again?
