If you knew you were going to die from skydiving, would you continue to jump?

If you knew you'd someday die from skydiving, would you continue to jump?

[tdog 0]

Would I know when? Because if so, then I would jump until the weekend before, and start right back up the weekend after.

Uh, on a philosophical note, if you KNEW you were going to die skydiving, would it be possible to change the time-line of history so that you didn't?

I don't think so.

If people are not willing to accept the risks, then maybe they should take up bowling ... or golf.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I'd stop skydiving but I wouldn't stop jumping

If I knew I was going to die skydiving I'd start B.A.S.E jumping like a wild woman.

And all kinds of other fun, dangerous stuff.

What if your grandfather was a skydiver...

... and you're a packer...

... and you went back in time...

... and packed him a mal and he bounced...





... would you still owe beer?

Until you're 963 years old, get sick of it all, and decide to, "buy your last lift ticket."

Yes, but only for the FIRST bounce.

If you knew you were going to die of old age, would you stop living?

Not exactly. I think it would be more fun and less hassle to others to fly myself out to sea until the plane runs out of gas, then bail out.

of course! I hope I'm lucky enough to die skydiving, and not of old age or falling down the stairs or being in a car crash or some other BS.

Hang on, that is a trick question. If I KNEW I WAS going to die from skydiving, it means even if I stop skydiving I am still going to die from skydiving. Why? Because I already know I will die from skydiving. Somehow in someway I would end up dying skydiving, thus stopping skydiving would not protect me, thus I would continue to skydive.

I figure I'm going to die eventually. So if it happens to be while skydiving at least I will have gone out doing what I love.

How you die is not nearly as important as how you lived your life.

...I'm speechless,,,,,

really want to waste my time time ta;lking the negative...
Been skydiving for 11 years...


harden the fuck up!!!!

[oozzee 0]

..JUST harden the fuck up,,,

[beowulf 1]

What does what I said mean to you? I am certain it meant something different to you then it does to me. My interpretation is enjoy life with out regard to death, because life is what is important not death.

At today's interest rates, you'd better be bringing a fleet of beer trucks.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Yes...I'd aim for the rigger.

I don't think so.

Unless you just succeeded in fracturing the timeline.

When I was younger we had these things called "records". They were vinal discs, with grooves in them. If you had an imperfect recording on one, you would be able to hear the grooves to either side of the one you were currently listenting to. In one way, you were "listening" to both the past, present and future all at the same time.

An hourglass, by contrast, has many particles of sand all traveling through a narrow passage. It's practically impossible to know for certain when one of the particles not yet at the passage will eventually pass though, but you can be fairly certain that eventually it will. Likewise, once it has passed through, it gets burried by the other particles which shift their place in the "history" of the pile.

Is time an hourglass or a record?

Do all the possibilities come together and create now, or are we simply moving along a predetermined path like a record?

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
