I have never tried sky diving, though I am considering it. Where I live, there are plenty of places to go to and sign up for the flight and drop, though it can cost a pretty penny. I have many mixed feelings about sky diving, however.

The positive ones tell me that it will be a rush and experience like no other, memorable for the rest of my life and something I should at least try once. I have talked to a lot of friends that are adventure junkies and they have all said it is a lot of fun.

The negative side (or sides) of sky diving are that it can be addicting - the rush is so intense that you are desensitized to anything else. It's like a drug. It is also dangerous - that is, if your parachute doesn't open or you botch the landing. Though there are people that can go with you as aids, it is still a disconcerting thought - maybe humans just weren't meant to drop from thousands of feet and live in the original plan, eh?
