Well, I've always wanted to try skydiving. After all, free fall is supposed to be an amazing experience.
Last Friday, I got to try it for free. ;) On a flight back to HK from Malaysia, we hit an air pocket as we passed by all the tropical storms in the Philippines region. The plane dropped about a thousand feet. Everything went into slow motion for about 30 secs.
Food went flying everywhere. Luckily I was belted in. My sister floated up and hit her head - but she's ok. It was pretty scary. A couple of the stewardesses were badly injured.
I might have to give skydiving a miss after all.
