Why people jump of a plane with parachutes??

Question

What's the motivation? fun? love risk? I wanna jump from a plane, you know...things to do before you die..is it worth it?

Answer 1

Four general reasons.

1) Something wrong with plane.

2) Something wrong with person.

3) For fun. (See answer #2 above)

4)Because the seargent will push them if they don't.

Answer 2

Depends on the person. For most it's the adrenaline rush they get like a natural high. Others, yeah it's a thing you do before you die.

Answer 3

I say go for it. It seems cool watching it on tv, but actually doing it is probably amazing. It's a real adrenaline rush and most of the time its risk free. So I think you should try it.

Answer 4

Freedom, and fun.  there is no great joy in my life than flying my body and canopy through the air.  the challenge of learning to fly and having fun with my friends.

I've been jumping for a few years now.  I started jumping, thinking it would be a one time thrill ride, but after that jump I knew I had to keep jumping.  For me there is no place better than in free fall.  it is complete freedom.  for 45 to 60 seconds there is nothing except you, your friends and the sky.  I have more fun jumping and flying my canopy than anything I've ever done. You get into the sport for the rush but you stay for the people.  My best friends are all jumpers.  We are a special breed.

Answer 5

its a blast. You get one heck of a rush in free fall then it gets real peacefull and relaxing after the shoot opens. Its neat seeing things from high up and a fun ride!
