I used to enjoy many kinds of rides before I turned 40. When my dayghters were young, I had a lot of fun riding roller coasters and pirate ships with them at the amusement park. When I was serving as an army officer almost 35 years ago, I even experienced parachute and rock climbing training. They were mandatory for all officers. at that time, I wasn't scared of parachuting down from the sky. And when I went on my honeymoon to Pattaya, Thailand in 1995, I also enjoyed parasailing and jet skiing. However, I developed a fear of heights after I turned 40. Some of my friends told me that they also developed a fear of heights, although I don't know why. Now, I even hesitate to ride cable cars because I'm scared of them. When I traveled to Vietnam last October, I had to take a cable car to climb a high mountain and it was really scary. I envy you for liking extreme sports. I really recommend you to try extreme sports before you develope a fear of heights.

Hi, Soon Ho^^
Thank you for sharing.
I guess it has something to do with age. 
Though I'm not sure. 
In my case, I'm interested in bungee jumping, however, I'm not sure if my body can take it.
I have a little problem with my health though it's not really considered a heart disease. 
Anyway, I really want to try sky diving. 
_T. SHAY^^
