If only all the younger generations knew where the exposed boxer shorts originated it might make them think twice, It originated in the prison systems as a means to display that one was available for the other homosexuals, with that information I certainly would be pulling my pants up ;D

Whoops!  That's not really something I needed to know.

Scared of flying   ;D

Great, so very good follow up clips after that video. I love flying.

Being in a helicopter (military lynx) when they start throwing it about is unbelievable.

Just amazing flying with the Red Bull.  Impressive flying skills by the pilot.  Only way to to a rollover I can see is to zero the pitch of the four blades that support the weight of the entire aircraft when upside down, as I see nil loss in altitude at that point.  Airbag, anyone?

I hate flying, especially the takeoffs and landings. I'm white knuckled the whole time and can't sleep or even read anything. Helicopters are even worse, they tilt over and you look out and there are no wings.

It's always the landing that will get you

I have had several thousand more take-offs than landings ;D
Cuts out the two most dangerous times take-off and landing. Mind you as an instructor that was pretty much cancelled out as going up to despatch static line students as I wouldn't be jumping but landing for another load.

Flying is statistically very safe, I even started gliding (up to solo pilot) as many of the parachute clubs I jumped at had Glider clubs at or close to the drop zone. That really is much more interesting, winch/cable launch (wow), aero tow and car tow (by comparison, somewhere between the other two, much slower). Never managed to get a Bungee launch though.

I think you meant: It's always the (uncontrolled) landings that will get you.  :)

Where ?

I had a posting at 71 Aircraft Workshop REME at Detmold, Germany.
I was also display team leader for REME Parachute Team, we had a close association with Army Air Corps team and also used their aircraft for displays, happy days ;D

Forget about sky diving. I'm not jumping out of any plane that still has the wings on it. I have a serious issue with heights anyway. I don't even like ladders that have more than 3 rungs.

There are many people who don't particularly like heights (like up a ladder, etc.) have no problem with the heights related to skydiving.
