BASE Jumping has become even more popular in the recent years. The term BASE jumping is derived from the four categories of fixed objects from which a parachute jump can be made - building, antenna, span and earth. Surely this exhilarating sport (must I say death-defying stunt?) is not for the weak of hearts and those with fear of heights. One thing I can say though is that people hooked into this heart-pumping, risky sport definitely know what "jumping into life's uncertainties" means.
I've had a lot of thrilling escapades as well, though considered amateurish compared to what the British jumper did and I must say not the "Fear Factor" kind of thing ok, but were really fun and unforgettable, here are just some of them:
(1) my first scuba-dive in Boracay with hubby during our honeymoon (hey, considering we both don't know how to swim in deep water, that's pretty brave, don't you think?)
(2) mountain trekking and cave exploration at Marilog, Davao
(3) dune bashing at Desert Safari (riding a speed-crazed 4WD off-roading through sand dunes)
(4) jumping off an 8-feet high platform ledge into a 10-feet deep swimming pool during my previous company's team building conference at Bukit Tinggi, Malaysia last year
So, what's your idea of fun and adventure? What stunts have you done lately you thought you never can or will never do?
