I highly recommend that everyone jump at least once. It puts you in touch
with your own mortality.


As for myself, I've had quit enough near death experiences brought about
by accident or misfortune to be plenty in touch with my own mortality. I
can't imagine purposefully placing my life in jeapardy just to feel alive or
to further my understanding of my place in the cosmic scheme of things. But
I'll be damned if I'll try to stop anyone else from trying it....
OTOH, some say that my motorcycles are a manifestation of a death
wish.... (shrug).
