s/o irrational fears

Don't remember if it was on this board or the bump (or FB) but one of my irrational fears was water where I can't see the bottom.

http://hypebeast.com/2010/06/guillaume-nery-base-jump/

I clicked on this link that Lance Armstrong tweeted this morning of a guy "base jumping" into a blue hole.  I got to about the :38 mark and had to stop watching because it was freaking me out that he was about to jump into a dark blue hole of water.

Trying to get up the nerve to watch the rest of the video...

Re: s/o irrational fears

  • It's a really awesome video.  You should watch it!  I have no fear of water though, ha, so that may be why I like it.

  • I finally watched the whole thing.  Took a few tries of me getting up the courage to hit play then watching a few seconds and hitting pause and hurriedly minimizing the window.  Once I got past the shots looking down on him into the hole, it was better.  I like the shots looking back up at him where you can see the sky (and as my coworker says "where the AIR is").

  • if it makes you feel any better, he didn't go to the bottom:

    From his blog:

    This video is a FICTION and an ARTISTIC PROJECT, I don't claim to have reached the bottom of the hole (202m) without rope and fins, as the world record in no-fins discipline is 95m.

    Man, now I just feel cheated.

  • yeah - it was still a pretty cool video, and the fact that he did it all in one breath is awesome too.

  • I'm not particularly afraid of water, but it is pretty freaky to think of going into such a deep, dark space.
  • AW HELL NAW!!  Oh my gosh, never in my life could I go into water that dark.  How does he know that he isn't going to hit anything.  And how does he keep falling down without kicking?  Don't people float in water?

    I was thinking that too. I also googled blue holes and found out that they're perfect conditions for breeding insane amounts of bacteria because of the lack of oxygen in the water down there.  Yuck, yuck, yuck.
