I have done all kinds of "crazy" sports, but skydiving is not something I look forward to. When I get my aerobatic plane finished I will make myself do it at least once so that if someday I needed to jump for my life I will not freeze. I like to think that all of the sports I have done that involve being near the edge, are ones that I am in control of. The thought of a chute not opening due to an improper pack job or whatever, gives me the willies.
IMO parachutes are a last chance life saving tool in case the perfectly good airplane at some point becomes not so perfect.
If I want the thrill of free fall it seems easier to go jump off a high dive or something!
