A woman fell seven miles from an airplane and survived.

It's happened many times.

There are plenty of tutorials that tell you what to do if you find yourself plummeting from an aircraft.

I'll be damned if anybody is clear-headed enough as they're freefalling thousands of feet from an aircraft to actually make use of those .

I have heard of that one woman. But yeah... I'm pretty sure I'd be freaking out. Plus, even if I lived, I'd probably break several bones. And likely fall into the ocean.

I'm honestly afraid of fear itself. I've had weed-induced skitzophrenia and fear can literally drive you suicidal.

One man said that falling from an airplane was an extremely peaceful experience, because he realized his life was ending. He had an extremely peaceful time in the air, and then woke up gazing at a starry sky.

I'll take either over imminent death any day.

Spiders and insects are my worse fear. I hate them. I don't know why, but they are the most disgusting and retarded things that exist. I wish they would just stay AWAY from me, I hate them SOOOOO MUCH!

For all the spider/insect haters, I made a saying: Embrace all the creepy things in life. Except for spiders. They can burn in hell xD

I feel safer flying miles above the ground because the zombies can't get you there.

Not sure why, but thinking of oceans makes my blood run cold. More specifically, finding myself floating in the middle of an ocean...on a dark night...is probably the most terrifying situation I could ever conceive of. Probably because it strikes me as being so virtually inescapable.

(hopefully that quote worked)

I'm not sure. If breaking all those bones leaves me paralyzed or something, I'm not sure I'd rather be alive. And if I fell into the ocean, broken bones + water = probable drownededness.

Wow. I cannot type today. Hello, backspace bar.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that, I am a little uneasy about heights.

Loss of control. All my nightmares involve me frozen to the spot and completely helpless. I hate that feeling.

I also harbour a secret fear of heights, and take every opportunity to go rock climbing, rappeling, cliff diving, or skydiving I can.

Bit of an adrenaline junkie, me.

This. Impotence is a concern.

Not. Sexual impotence. I meant. Just general impotence. You know.

baby spider swarms are the ultimate worst. i fear the mix of my imagination and the darkness, bad results.

Moving water at night... rivers and oceans.

Come to think of it, bee swarms are pretty scary.



As are hornets.

I shall not sleep tonight.

Watch this and you won't sleep for a week.

Swimming in water when I cannot see the bottom. Fraid of things swimming beneath me.

I just have:
-The generic spiders fear (mainly hairy ones...I play with redbacks, its sort of a curious fear)
-A little bit of heights, but not so much it'll really hinder me for long at all
-And the dark. Yeah, seriously. Actually its more so the ghosts or other things that'll decide to take advantage of it and stuff.

But fudge, spiders...my mates like to have fun with that one. Even daddy-long legs freak me out. Insects I don't mind though

OOOOHHHH I forgot the ocean. I mean, the beach is fine, as long as I don't go too far out. It's sort of the open ocean water I guess though. I did sail out to about the horizon in a one-man inflatable dingy with my mate. Thinking you see giant things underneath the water is freaking scary. Snorkeling out in deeper water gets me too.

Its like a giant, moving, stinging haircut....

Stung in the eye... inhaling bees....

I am afraid of bees, deep dark murky water, big machines under water, car accidents, helplessness.

I'm afraid of dying without having ever seen much of the world.

I don't know whats more scarier, Picture 1 or picture 2. I hope I wont find one of those nests in my house... But those look like good quality photos.

Stare at picture number 1 or 2 and then close your eyes, and imagine hugging one really tightly.
