In traditional DT fashion, I went indoor skydiving today after The Hivemind mentioned it a few weeks ago- I think it was Danwritesbooks? So much fun and I now feel an odd urge to go to the next level of adrenaline rush and actually jump out of a plane. Which is not something I ever thought I would do.

Ooh very exciting and please do it if you can. There is no falling sensation in your stomach because the plane has that momentum already. You won’t regret it!

I've done it and it's really nice. Less thrilling than I thought and more chill. I've been bungie jumping a few times and that was much more thrilling I found. Rather than being shuffled out of the plane by your tandem diver, you're all alone in the edge and have to convince yourself to jump! It's intense

A bit chill sounds lovely.
