    But the one thing that stopped me was, I can't scream for that length of time!

    I so want to parachute jump. Maybe someday. I wonder if there are restrictions when it comes to gnomes however?

    I don't think Hang Gliding is something I would try...I'd probably have heart failure!

    When I was in high school I went to a theme park that had parachute jumps. They had cords that slowed you down before you hit the ground so you had a "soft" landing. I still wasn't thrilled with it. Dooley

    Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

    When I was much younger, we lived in Asheville, NC.
    It was so exciting to see all the hang gliders around those mountains,
    I took several lessons. [​IMG]
