It fascinates yet scares me. My son jumped at age 18. I refused to have anything to do with his nonsense and quietly prayed all day - and I am NOT religious! He said it was a real buzz. I'm still not convinced - but then I don't like eeen jumping over a puddle LOL!

In NZ, I was brave enough to contemplate a bungy, but then made the fatal mistake of watching people jump first. What terrifies me is that initial free fall, wondering if the bungy will hold - or the shoot will open, in the case of skydiving. How DO you talk people through that - I am sure it's one of the most common issues people have?
