......and wear incontinence pants!....(I would!).... ...!

Paul....Into the unknown!.... ...!

Don't forget the crackers, so the crows leave you alone At one period in my life, an 82nd Airborne Division Static line Jumper.

I am thinking full body incontinence suit.............I would be leaking from every bodily orifice all the way down.......Also maybe some sort of protective shield for the poor chap who is tandeming with you.............just in case of leakage..........!

Gently sliding out of bed every morning, is the nearest I ever get to leaping into space from high altitudes...

(I leave that daft idea to Ozzy)...

...trust me!.... ...!

I've not jumped out of a plane or off a crane for quite a while Paul... maybe its time

I love doing all sorts of things which don't result in me dying....trust me.... ...!

Paul...in Invincibility Mode...(love it!)..... ...!

I'm 51 and I did my first skydive last month in Hawaii from 12,000 ft. It was the most fun I have EVER had. Kudos to him. He will have an everlasting smile on his face!

I'm 54, and never, ever jumped out of, or off anything I didn't have to. Did rappel off the tower in boot once...closest I ever came to a parachute was in a glider in Calistoga when I was 14 and had just recently solo'd. The tow plane on constant bearing, decreasing range, coaltitude with me never even saw me ...Anyway, I was able to get away without jumping, although it crossed my mind...

I'm with Paul: I'll eject from a Simulated FA-18F without a second thought...from a real one would be a horsefly of an entirely different speciaes, let alone color!

I'm with Fozzer. I'll leave this sort of thing to Ozzy.

Parachuting, bungee jumping, rock climbing, aerobatics, riding a motorbike at ludicrous speeds, these are all wonderful ways to relax...
What is wrong with you guys? Without adrenalin and danger, where's the fun in life? My kitchen sometimes ends up looking like a war zone... mind you those veggies can be quite aggressive when they want to be? Cucumber bashing, tomato wrestling, cabbage slapping.... it all happens in my kitchen

With all his very dangerous activities, I have a feeling that I am going to outlive our Ozzy!... ...!

Paul... ... ...!

P.S...I take great care of my "Vegetables"......after all...I've had them for 80 years now!... ....!

I've had a message this morning from a certain daughter that she wants me to make shepherds pie for dinner. Luckily I'd anticipated this and got all the stuff I needed at the shops yesterday. Now to go mano-a-veggio with some potatoes and onions......
