I never threw up parachuting, and i never got sick with sea sickness either.
And yes married is the really expensive crazy one, havent and probably wont do that one!
Far more likely to jump out of a plane again, even without a parachute
Hi Robbie
I did manage not to be sick yes, then so my friend would know what it felt like, I bought her one, as she was filming me when I came down and climbed out.

Sommerauer71: Hi Robbie

When i was really young (I think i was about 7/9) i was going to be in a flight in an Airshow.
I can even remember the plane i was going to be in (A Fieseler Fi 156 Storch) which a freind/workmate of my father found crashed in a barn in france!
The plane was restored from a total wreck and i was going to take a trip in it at an International Air fete!
I don't remember why it didn't happen, but i was gutted at the time.

You should join go see the pilot and spill coffee all over him and see if the auto pilot takes over while he screams in agony - if that doesn't cure the problem, forget it!

THE CASE OF THE COW TICKS This one happened a few years ago. Two female friends and I used to go digging for Taino artifacts in Jamaica. Every sunday we would climb this hill that was several feet above sea level and gave a nice view of the capital Kingston. Now this place with very rocky and busy. Sometimes we'd see cows about grazing. On this particular day one of my companions went off into the bush exploring. Me and the other friend stayed out in the open.
When it was time to leave we were preparing to go home and I noticed something looking like brown dust on the friend who was in the bush. She said she had brushed against some plants and not to worry it was just pollen and since much of the pollen was the same light brown colour as her skin we thought nothing of it. So we merrily hopped into the car and drove off.
However, halfway down the hill, I kinda noticed that the pollen was moving. Then on closer inspeciton discovered that the pollen HAD LEGS! My friend was covered all over in a mass of COW TICKS. Thankfully we had some bug spray and tossing all modesty aside my friend ripped off the blouse and we emptied all the bottles of bug spray on her. Rushed down the hill at top speed down the steep hill to her house where she flew inside. When we called her later that day to see how she had survived she told us she was busy scrubbing with hot water and becoming one with a bottle of rubbing alcohol.

What about volunteering for say an animal sanctuary?
Unusual sporting activities....like say paintball....did you ever enter a paintball tournament?
What about medical trials or psychological tests?
There maybe some very interesting stories out there to share.
So come on, share the experience and if your good i'll do the one about the tiger, me an elephant, a mexican and a rampage through the jungle.
