I was flying helicopters a lot, then some pilot friends took me up and I got into a fixed-wing license too. I started thinking it might be a good idea to get used to the idea of enjoying falling from the sky since there was now a higher likelihood that might occur with all the air hours I was logging.
I strongly recommend jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. I considered getting licensed for sky diving too, but again, I was working too many hours for tech clients so they didn't think it was safe. So I put it off...
