Word on the street

Would you ever consider skydiving? Why or why not?

June 9, 2009

“I’ve thought about it enough to where I’ve decided that I don’t think I would skydive. I’ve heard it’s a rush, you know, and a big thrill, but it’s dangerous, first off. Then after you get done with that thrill, there’s nothing that could match it I don’t think. So you’ll be seeking that next thrill and not be able to come up with it and just do crazier and crazier things that could get you killed. I don’t know. Skydiving might be fun, but it’s very short-term fun.”

“Yes, I would consider skydiving. I would skydive because I think it would be a wonderful experience, something new for me and I have to enjoy life because I can’t always, you know, say what I can’t do when I can actually go in the sky and skydive. I’ll probably do it some day like on my birthday or something because it seems like it would be a great experience.”

“No, I could never do that. I think that’s not suited for me because I don’t think I could take that. If I did that, maybe I will throw up later.”
