Why I will NEVER go Bungee Jumping.Statistics indicate that bungee jumping has about two in one million chances of death. Whatever. The chances may sound slim, but I will never ever ever Bungee jump in my life, and this is the story of why. Granted, I was traumatized at a young age, and as the years go on, the dramatic/exaggeration level of the story goes up. The story I tell you now is probably nothing like what actually happened, but I will tell it anyhow.
This is the reason for my fears:

Yes that's right-- it is a one piece snowsuit.
Let's go back to North Conway, NH- I don't remember the year, and to be honest it is irrelevant. I was little. I love North Conway, but that little park in the little downtown area turned into a fiery pit of hell on the sunny winter day. I put on my one piece snow suit ready for a fun filled day of winter activities. We went to the park and oh my goodness-- a HUGE spiral slide! You know the kind-- A sliding corkscrew of heaven. I climbed my way to the top, sat down and readied myself for the ride of a lifetime. Oh the excitement!
I pushed off, and I sped down the slide. So joyous. Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, BAM! As my life flashed before my eyes-- here is the background on what was going on: The drawstring around the neck of my snowsuit got caught in a part of the slide, and I was now hanging by the string. Because I had a one piecer on (my name for one peice snowsuit), my whole body was controlled by this death cord. By this time my short life has flashed before my eyes, and I am now in panic mode. Luckily my daddypoo and his 8 friends (ok maybe 2 in real life) came to the rescue! They heroically climbed up the slippery slide and freed me from it's hellish grasp. I slid the rest of the way down, finishing my ride, and from that moment on I was a different person.
Since that day, I knew in my heart that I would never be able to be one of those jumpers. One of those crazy people that WILLINGLY hooks them self up to a string and jumps. I have been there. I have seen it. And let me tell you-- you don't want to see what I saw.
