LOL! To me one is just as dangerous as the other and I think it's cute that you guys are standing there trying to convince the other how safe it is. <BR/>:-D Actually, I admire your sense of adventure but I take a step back, hands extended shaking my head. No thank you. :-D But I still love the pics. Still, I'd take scuba diving over jumping off a cliff.2sweetnsaxyhttp://eyesmindheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-16703199114947349712008-12-09T16:29:00.000-10:002008-12-09T16:29:00.000-10:00I don't think I will ever jump off a mountain....rjsRJShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13051468812274312550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-69531534375050354902008-12-09T09:27:00.000-10:002008-12-09T09:27:00.000-10:00@ Sheila - There's a large body of research in psychology that has to do with how people evaluate risk and make decisions. It is indeed interesting stuff. <BR/><BR/>@ Lavenderbay - I know a number of divers who have prescription lenses ground into their masks so that they can avoid the very problem you mention.<BR/><BR/>@ Andy - You have a vivid imagination! Somehow I don't <I>think</I> anyone would try what you suggest, but you never know...<BR/><BR/>@ Tim - You are welcome. I love your photos and I'm happy to share them with readers of <I>The Right Blue</I>.<BR/><BR/>And your point about walking certainly is a good one!<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-91636477374838734582008-12-09T08:41:00.000-10:002008-12-09T08:41:00.000-10:00Mahalo for the mention of my website.<BR/><BR/>My hang gliding friends have similar conversations with the paragliders who also fly at Makapuu. As my father use to say "every one to his own taste,' said the old woman as she kissed the cow"<BR/><BR/>TimT<BR/><BR/>PS Walking is good too. Just make sure you look both ways before crossing the street. ;-)paikiiimageryhttp://paikiiimagery.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-68212177379818096382008-12-09T06:14:00.000-10:002008-12-09T06:14:00.000-10:00What if you used a zipline to launch your hang glider over the water and then dove into the ocean with your scuba gear on? <BR/><BR/>Can we all agree that would be scary? ;-)Andy Bealhttp://www.govisithawaii.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-2680820639118934092008-12-09T05:46:00.000-10:002008-12-09T05:46:00.000-10:00I like walking. Walking's good.<BR/>In fact, ever since I got glasses at the age of 12, I don't swim very much, whereas I used to love it as a child. The vulnerabilty inherent in being simultaneously unshod and unseeing is too much!lavenderbayhttp://lavenderbay.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-64867942862454294572008-12-09T03:40:00.000-10:002008-12-09T03:40:00.000-10:00Isn't it fascinating when we discover that we're all "wired" differently? <BR/><BR/>That was an interesting encounter with the hang glider that you shared. I'd be too scared to try hang gliding, too. Wonder if he would zip line? ;-)Sheilahttp://www.govisithawaii.comnoreply@blogger.com
