I hate that feeling. :(

the stuff? thats what a large majority of coasters are made for, g-force. I love that feeling... oh, you dont like roller coasters do you?

my guess is that you feel it at first, but then it fades away, because at first you accelerate quickly, but you don't change speeds suddenly after that, which is what i think the cause of g-force is

I've been wanting to do it for a while but I can't find a friend who has the balls to go with me.

Have fun. My parents apparently had a blast when they went sky diving.

I hate you Bones, you lucky son of a bitch. I've been wanting to go skydiving with my grandparents ever since I saw them jump the first time. But at my age, I have to get my parents to agree, and since my dad keeps saying no, I can't go.

13k? What kind of crack is the company on?
There's little to no oxygen above 10,000. Even a little Cessna prop can't fly that high without having severe difficulty.

I hope you realize the average airliner flys at 15,000ft.

Terminal Velocity is the fastest speed you can fall at. If you fell any faster than Terminal Velocity, your skin would rip off and you would bleed to death in mid-air.
