Oh, I just remembered I have one more thing I wanted to ask. Why do parachutes malfunction sometimes? What causes it?

Thanks for the replies everyone. Although a few of you seem to think that simply because I'm questioning it and asking other people about it I shouldn't do it, most of your replies encouraged me to try it. Hopefully I can find some friends to do it with and we'll jump out of a plane together one day soon

Okay then. Because what you said made absolutely no sense...like at all. But everyone has their days.

I can see how a little scariness can contribute to the adrenaline rush and fun factor, but I'm not sure if I want to do something that's "scary as hell"...

Like the title suggests, I'm just trying to figure out if skydiving is for me. I'm just an average guy, I've never really been known as "the thrill seeker" in the group or anything like that. In fact, I've always been a pretty cautious person who often considers what could go wrong in a lot of situations. But certain aspects of skydiving really appeal to me. Overcoming fear, the adrenaline, the euphoria, the experience. I remember the feeling I got the first time I overcame my fear and went on a rollercoaster. I'm hoping skydiving is like that, but I'm afraid it might be scary as hell, and it's something that's meant for only the most extreme life long thrill seekers, and not so much average joes. What do you think?
