Right before I jumped out of a plane, I knew what Superman felt like.
It's like a bird. If he knew what he was doing, he would fall.
One of the most exciting moments was standing out on top of the world, 30 seconds before stepping off.
I'd like to jump out of a plane. I have a fear of heights I'd like to face.
I go skydiving often. At least twice a year.
I was, somewhere in the neighborhood of about 300 jumps.
Well, I jumped for the first time when I was 16. I just loved it and immediately realized that it was what I wanted to do.
The truth is I made a few good movies in the '50s, then went into freefall.
Former President Bush, to celebrate his 80th birthday, jumped out of an airplane. And if you've seen the polls, you know he's not the only Bush in freefall.
The Jets seem to be a franchise in freefall.
The first time I jumped from a plane, I screamed like a woman. I was two miles up and you could hear me clear as day. Now I love it.
I am terrified of being pushed out of a plane at 10,000ft with my hands tied behind my back.
Skysurfing is skydiving with a board on the feet. You can imagine with this big surface of a skysurfing board, there is a lot of force, a lot of power. Of course, I can use this power, for example, for nice spinning - we call it 'helicopter moves.'
I always had the dream of flying, and the cheapest way is to become a skydiver.
I suddenly felt the plane go down. I thought we were going to die. I was really scared. I was sitting with my head in my hands.
Skydiving is something I've never done! And I am very excited to take the leap with a community of like-minded courageous women.
Skydiving is special because it's almost the closest to an out-of-body experience you can have. We live in such a stimulated, connected, busy world - to be up in the air with nothing but yourself and the landscape is incredibly peaceful.
I was required to jump from a parachute into a lake and for this I was dangled in the air 100 feet above the ground with the help of a harness. It was scary in the beginning as I had never attempted such a thing before.
I fell from the sky. I'm a parachutist, and I missed my mark.
When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn't feel like you're falling: it feels like you're floating, a bit like scuba diving.
I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom.
I love a challenge, and trying to become the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall is a challenge like no other.
Coming down under a parachute is quite different as well. You hit the ground pretty hard, but all the systems work very well to keep it from hurting, so it doesn't even hurt when you hit. It was a great experience to be able to do both.
I kicked off... and things went on from there... down and down.
I base jumped off one of the highest buildings in the world.
