Monday’s Question: Have You OR Would You Ever Try Sky Diving?

Hey GOB writers … Would you ever knowingly jump out of a functioning plane?

Christie:  I don’t have any desire to sky dive but if I had to in order to escape an assassin or for creative research, I might. I’m afraid of heights but I have been told that doesn’t come into play because the plane is so high up. My answer, “Yeah, right!” Also, I’m not sure if it is possible, but I would want two back-up parachutes. 

Cathi:   Oh, how I wish I could say, “YES!”  But, the truth is  -Absolutely not.  Did you recently see Will Smith celebrate his 50th Birthday by bungee jumping out of a plane over the Grand Canyon?  Impressive.  My husband, even more impressive in my opinion, and who used to be a pilot, went skydiving 5 times when he was 17 .  His stories freak me out, but he loved  it. When I asked him what he would say if our 17 year-old daughter wanted to skydive, he said, “Oh, hell, yeah.”
