I was thinking today that maybe you should do a live stream of the event... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea, should maybe take the next step and become "an influencer" as well, while I'm at it. Reckon livestreaming myself crashing into a volcano would be a killer way to kickstart my new career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that thousands were willing to eat laundry detergent, inhale cinnamon, or lick toilet seats as a social media challenge, I wouldn't be so sure... Crashing into a volcano sounds by far more appealing than any of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my first flight booked for the weekend... There you go, amazing feeling. That take off was from 6500ft (1960m) To put into context Ben Nevis is 1345m!!! Take a sick a bag, if you haven't done anything like this before it can turn your stomach in knots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 1,179 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Crazy life isn't it, I've just been reading my 'Turning 40' thread and it amazes me what bothers me. I worry about aging and my weight more than I do my actual well being. I've done paragliding, a bungee jump, rid the highest roller coaster in Europe and done countless other crazy things over the years without a single flinch of fear but mentally I can be bothered by aging.

We're taking off from 2200m Haha, I think I'll be fine without the sick bag. Haven't done paragliding or skydiving or anything like that before, but was on aerobatic/sports planes a few times and am not queasy in general...

Just flying into one is pointless but if it caused all that pandemonium i'd say it was well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
