Why would you throw yourself out of a perfectly functioning airplane

I've had a lot of people ask me that question of late. And to be honest, there just isn't an answer that feels sufficient. At the moment I'm sticking with 'coz it was really fun' or 'coz I wanted to give it a go'. While these responses are accurate, they are not the best life motto's to live by, so I hesitate from quoting them. In any case, it was amazing fun, and I have always wanted to go skydiving. I've put some of the photos below. I think these may be some of the best hairdos I'll ever produce :-)
