Today, I went on my first ever assisted skydive. I fainted after we jumped, and only came to as we touched the ground. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend skydiving for her birthday. I insisted on joining her to make it a memory for us both, despite my fear of heights. I passed out twice mid-freefall and had to be saved by the instructor both times. FML

Today, my friend took me tandem skydiving. When it was time to jump, he began crying, said he'd cut our parachute cords, then said "Goodbye, cruel world!" and pushed me off the plane with him strapped to my back. I pissed myself and cried like a bitch. He thinks his "prank" was hilarious. FML

Sick moves, bro

Today, we were hanging around the pool with a couple of friends and a crush of mine. Thinking I would be able to impress her with a well-performed dive off the diving board, I went up and attempted my best dive. I slipped as I jumped, hitting my head on the board. I had to be saved by the lifeguard. FML

Today, while on vacation with my family, I went parasailing. Just as I was about to take off, the wind picked up and I got blown off course. I ended up crashing into a boat and had to be rescued by the coastguard. FML

Today, at the pool, I decided to face my fears and go off the high dive. I slipped off the edge and did a barrel roll into the pool while screaming like a little girl. FML

Indoor skydiving is fun and not so scary. It's in a wind tunnel so it's very controlled.

I'm scared that will happen to me that's why I won't skydive!

I'm glad to hear that you fainted and nothing worse than that. At least you now know that it is not the right kind of adrenaline for you. Props to you for having the courage to do it!

I would be so annoyed with myself for that. Hopefully next time your body behaves itself and lets you enjoy the adrenaline rush.
