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).


Motorcycles have always scared me. They require constant vigilance and
skill to keep from getting killed. A parachute, on the other hand, is
either going to work or not, and you get instant feedback.
