Never did it myself, but a gal who worked for me years ago did it as a part of her graduation celebration. She jumped tandum (sp?) with an experienced sky diver and had the whole event imortalized on video tape. She seemed to enjoy it!

Never tried it but would definetely love to try it. I don't have a fear of heights, although I do suffer from vertigo which is kind of the opposite, so for me it wouldn't be to conquer my fear but for the thrill of it. One thing I'll never try however is bungy jumping. I just can't see myself jumping several hundred feet to the ground head first.

I done it once for charity. It was a tandem one but it was still good.

I am afraid of heights too. Funny thing is that when I used to travel back and forth to the UK for 5 years (every 3 months) it was alright. I seemed to enjoy the journey. A couple of years ago though, after travelling 10 years later, it seems that I ve developed some kind of fear to heights.
Anyway, havent tried anything like sky diving or bunjie jumping or whatever. I dont think I could survive such a thing. Even looking down from the first floor it makes me dizzy and my hearts is racing, let alone so many feet above the ground. Normally I would stick on my earthy (?) mission ... touching the ground .. and stuff

My fear of height started when I was 6. I fell off a balcony and broke my ankle. Hey I guess I'm sorta like a cat. I landed on my feet but man did it hurt.
