I went to Zero Gravity with the adventure group tonight. They have bungee jumping and 4 other thrill ride type things. Bungee jumping was probably the least scary of all of them. The scariest was definitely the freefall into a net. You start out hanging with your face toward the sky and then they let you go and you fall backwards, and it is terrifying. It's so unnatural and wrong. Your body has all of these instincts to fight against that sort of thing. The fourth thing we did was this:
At the top of this thing (165 ft up), I started thinking, "Why on earth am I doing this? Why am I risking my life? I want to live. Please don't let me die. I don't want to die doing something idiotic like this." I guess that's why you have to do stupid things like this every once in a while, to remind yourself of how important your life is to you.
I am putting videos of bungee and freefall on myspace. If you want to watch me being a moron.
