Skydiving


You can prepare yourself for the pain of something if you know it's coming. You can psych yourself out in a plane ride to actually have enough guts to thrust yourself helplessly out of it once it reaches 10,000 feet and trust that the tandum instructor and parachute will function properly. You can feel safe. Because you've had time to prep. But when you're about to jump and then somebody expresses potential danger-your whole safety wall comes down and you're not feeling so confident anymore. Do you still jump? Almost getting married then backing out at the other person's doubts gives you the same stomach drop as a free fall...without the parachute safety net. (W&B)
