I've often wondered if I could ever do it. My two closest friends have both done similar things, one of them did a tandem jump out of a plane, and the other did a tandem hang-glider jump off a pretty tall cliff in Rio de Janeiro. In the 2nd case I saw the video...it looks pretty amazing. Now they've done it... I'm pretty tempted becuase they keep saying how great it felt! We'll see...I think I'd have to be totally losing it do it...heh.
Go for it...why not, life is for the living!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
