I've always wanted to go parachuting but I'm scared of dropping from such a height, even if I can control the speed. 
Even though I'm afraid of heights, I'd always thought it'd be fun to sky dive! I'm sure it's pretty safe.
It is a lot safer now than it was in war times when pilots would shoot down parachutists. 
Now THAT would be terrifying! When was sky diving invented?
Parachuting
Parachuting is a method of transiting from a high point to Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent with the use of a parachute or parachutes. It may involve more or less free-falling (the skydiving segment) which is a period when the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.
History.
The first parachute jump in history was made by André-Jacques Garnerin, the inventor of the parachute, on 22 October 1797
'll ever happen. I don't even know if it'd be the same line-up. Me and Bob would be there of course as it was always our band. I had a brief thought of doing a set of Ad Nauseam songs with some more obscure Cardiacs songs chucked in such as "Bitter Pill" "Big Noise In A Toy World" or "Stench Of Honey" but I'm not sure if that might just be naff."
Work as bandmember Cardiacs (1991-2004).
