How come some people don't feel or experience fear ?. They can do almost any adventure sports in the world without fear. Just thinking about the stunt man you see in action movies. These guys are not afraid of anything or what? I'm sure you would ask them to join you in any adventure sports and they would be ready to follow you into action within a minute. I am not a daring person. I don't like heights, fast speeds or defying gravity. I like my feet to be firmly on the ground. The only vaguely exciting activity I have ever done is skiing, which I loved. Adventure sports are not really for me but I wish I could get over my inhibitions and go for it. An armchaired sportsman is more likely what I am; happy to watch other people take foolish risks.
The thing I'd do first is skydiving if I was braver. That must be an unforgettable feeling, up so high and free as a bird. You would think some people are doomed as they free fall down into caves and their parachutes open just as it's getting dark. Rock climbing also looks exciting, although I wouldn't want to climb those high peaks like Everest. Mountain climbing in Force 10 winds and frostbite eating at your fingers doesn't really interest me. I'm also far too claustrophobic for pot holing and the thought of cave diving fills me with dread.
Almost every sort of water adventure sports are offered in beach resorts around the world. Lying there while everyone else is jet skiing, parasailing, wind surfing and otherwise whizzing around makes me feel lazy. The most activity I indulge in on a beach is a hearty game of volleyball. From time to time I may fling a Frisbee. I want to do something but I always end up soaking up the sunshine and there is also all that food and drink to consume.
My fear of heights precludes me from hang gliding or a trip in a hot air balloon. My idea of relaxing time is not traveling in a wicker basket under a flammable, gas filled balloon. I'm sure it's thrilling but I would be on continuous guard for electricity pylons, not to mention a sudden drop in pressure to send me plunging back to earth. Adventure sports like that are made for gutsy, optimistic people with good insurance policies.
I am waiting for the day when someone invents a hologram suite, you know, similar to the ones in the Star Trek shows. These are computerized virtual realities, in which you can ski down the side of a mountain at maximum speed and come to no harm. That's because the mountain isn't really there. Nothing is real but it feels just like reality. In other words, it's all the thrills without the danger. If I wanted, I could do any adventure sports then and maybe even create a few new ones. Until that time, I will observe other sport lovers do their hot dog tricks and bungee jump from high places. These days, does driving into the city and back count as adventure sports?
