One thing that I've wanted to do since I've been 13 years old is skydiving. What holds me back from doing this is not a fear that I couldn't do it...but a fear that the equipment would fail.
In the article Why Do People Skydive?, the author said, "...there is not a plane around that can give you the same view. What an awesome sight to view 360 degrees around you - the sky, the horizon, the incredible beauty of the world, right there for you to see with no obstructions. To feel you are a part of that sky."
Perhaps someday I'll do this...but at this time I'll simply enjoy pictures of people skydiving.

You are braver than I! I am pretty sure I could never jump out of a plane unless it was going down & I had to to save my life, lol! ;)
I'm afraid of heights and they'd have to throw me out of the plane by force. That would be a nightmare, not a dream. I can watch movies of being up there and agree that it is beautiful, but actually doing it--no thanks. ;)
HAHAH, no thanks, I won't skydive. WAY TO SCARY FOR ME. Maybe if you asked my younger self about 15 years ago, I would have given it a try. But I have too much to risk these days.
Sounds like logical thinking to me. Haha.
You're a brave soul! Lol. That was a nice way of putting it, though - the reason people like to skydive. For me, personally, 'feeling like a part of the sky' sounds absolutely terrifying.
Good luck! :D
I think skydiving sounds wonderful in concept, but like most, I would have to be thrown out of the airplane. Once out, I'd probably enjoy the flight. I've been in a hot air balloon, and you can get pretty much the same experience.
