From Skydiving To The Zipper Ride: Terrifying Thrills

What’s a moment in your life that made you feel truly alive?


I’ve had many exhilarating moments of feeling truly alive.

These moments typically involved a high level of adrenaline.

Three that stand out the most are:

  1. The first and only time I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane attached to a Tandem Master
  2. Kayaking the Killer-K on the Shubenacadie River during a Spring Tide
  3. The one and only time I rode the Zipper at a local fair

I was so terrified that the door was going to open on that ride, I screamed to stop it and let me off. Add to that I thought I was going to vomit as I was flung around in circles experiencing strong G-forces while trapped in that wire cage.

That was enough for me!

    1. That initial leap out the plane, for me, was terrifying as I’m fearful of heights!
