I put in my fair share of HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) jumps "way back when"...and with my myriad illnesses, I dare not attempt to repeat them.

10,000 feet high is around the 700 millibar level / 20.67 inches of mercury. :eek:

I think skydiving would be just below "standing in an open field in Oklahoma holding a 10 foot long lightning rod in the middle of a severe thunderstorm" on my list of things to do in life.

I won't do it. Plain and simple. Call me a wussy.

But I know several people who can't get enough of it....more power to them...some people say I'm crazy for wanting to go down a 1/4 mile dragstrip at 150 mph....its the adrendaline rush.

I'm afraid I'd enjoy it so much I would kiss Mother Earth before opening my chute!

That would only happen the first time, though.
