That's pretty wild, has to be quite a rush. I could never do that.

Fascinating.
When I was a kid, I used to have recurring dreams in which I flew over the landscape at will, just by holding my breath. This comes pretty close!

You, too??
I didn't have to hold my breath, but in my dreams, I could do it anytime I put my arms out to the side and jumped. Haven't had a flying dream in awhile, but this takes me right there . . .
I secretly hope death is like this . . .

Re: Now, THIS is flying!
I had the same dreams, and to this day, can still remember the sensation of flying in my dreams. Closest I've come to feeling like that is diving in Cozumel. The current was stronger than normal on a drift dive we did, and we were zooming along.....it was awesome.flyboy55 wrote:Fascinating.

Those people are CRAZY.
I might do it if it were over deep water. And no boats or sharks or rocks were around. And it wasn't windy. Or cold. And I'd had several large margaritas. And it was FREE.
Chance of actually doing it: slim to none.

Re: Now, THIS is flying!
I can't think of ANY situation under which I'd do that voluntarily.....
