The Rappelling, Bungy & Skydive thread!

[Myka]

Have you ever gone rappelling, bungy'd or gone skydiving? Let's hear about it!! Any type of controlled falling counts!

Personally, I'm deathly afraid of heights, and a year ago you would never get me to climb higher than the 5th rung on a ladder!! Last year I went waaaaaaaaay over my boundaries and went rappelling on a train trestle (170 ft) which you have to stand on a platform on the side, and then kinda gently jump into the harness in the air. Not like when you go down over the edge of a cliff where you can lean into the harness before walking off the edge. Holy FFFFFF that was tough, but I knew if I didn't do it right away I wouldn't do it at all, so I did it. Not long after I went rappelling down a cliff that was 280 ft or so. It was much tougher going off the trestle!!!

I want to go Bungy jumping, and I think if I do it, I'll just go big, and go to one of the bigger ones like the Nevis jump in New Zealand. I want to go to New Zealand anyway.
