Does Skydiving Attract Many Who Are in Need of Mental Health Services

Recommended Posts

Almost everytime I see a psychiatrist, or a psychologist, or some type of therapist on tv, there is always someone in the bar shouting "see, their trying to help everyone else, but they can't get their own shit together." Almost everybody in those bars needs help but they don't go because of attitudes like this.



So you hang out in bars, where the entertainment is shrinks on TV.

You need help.

Why the leeriness of those that do not watch TV?

And who are you least leery of?

And why the avatar of just lips-to-collarbones?

I would say skydiving attracts thrill junkies. I am a thrill junkie.



Thrill junkies last about a half year if that. I'd put them in a different category than skydivers that do it for the sport rather than the stunt.



Some take up swooping or use skydiving to train for BASE jumping and wingsuit BASE.



Same applies as in skydiving - Swooping and base jumping are legitimate sports. There are real "athletes" in those sports, and there are just the adrenaline junkies. You can tell who's who usually and I believe the longevity comment still applies.

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
