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?
The first recorded sky dive was by Jacques Gamerin on October 22 1797.  He is credited with inventing the parachute. 
Very interesting! How high do you need to be in order to sky dive?
Parachute
A parachute is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag (or in the case of ram-air parachutes, aerodynamic lift). Parachutes are usually made out of light, strong fabric, originally silk, now most commonly nylon. They are typically dome-shaped, but vary, with rectangles, inverted domes, and others found. A variety of loads are attached to parachutes, including people, food, equipment, space capsules, and bombs.

'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).
