Conquest150 0 #1 December 8, 2003 i just got my senior project that i have to do and we got to choose what we wanted to do it on and as you can probably guess i chose skydiving. i had to pick a specific topic for this project and i chose to do it on what skydivers fear the most. So if you would please help me out here and tell me what you fear the most? Thanks to all those who post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jkm2500 0 #4 December 8, 2003 My biggest fear is not being able to make another jump. For whatever reason I fear being stuck on the ground while everyone else is getting to play in the sky.The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

kelel01 1 #5 December 8, 2003 Do you mean in skydiving or in life in general? I have answers for both, but I'd rather not post the latter unless that's specifically what you're looking for. In skydiving, probably a canopy wrap or collision between freefaller and open canopy. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conquest150 0 #6 December 8, 2003 i do mean as in skydiving and i agree with jkm i think that not being able to jump no matter what it is scares me the most Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aromain 0 #7 December 8, 2003 I really fear the misery that I would leave behind if I ever make 'my last mistake'.

BoostedXT 0 #8 December 8, 2003 My biggest fear in life is growing old alone. I dont want to be that person you see sitting in the corner eating lunch by himself when he is 80. In skydiving....not being able to jump again. Its a mind clearing process to me. When I leave th eplane all my thoughts, concerns, worries, and cares are back at 14,500 in the door.

shmali 0 #10 December 8, 2003 My biggest fear in skydiving would be that I might ever reach the point where i would choose/have to choose to stop jumping. I don't even want to think about what could cause me to do that. Pineappe Death Juice, If you have to ask you'd rather not know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billymotox 0 #17 December 8, 2003 my biggest fear would have to be getting hurt really bad or killed and upsetting my friends and family. i try to tell them that if it were to happen while jumping or riding moto-x then so be it, this is what i enjoy, and i am well aware of the risks involved. most people don't understand that it is better to live to the fullest than to sit around and let fear control your life. billy d------------------------- "Escape may be checked by water and land, but the air and the sky are free."
