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
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.
