First three, not the rest. Went to skydive once but the wind picked up too much and we went up in a glider (taking the controls for most of it).
Same with scuba diving too actually - wasn't trained enough to go down, but got all the gear on to give it a go and the current picked up badly. Most of my experienced mates went anyway.... but barely made it back to the boat and they found themselves in a bad area anyway, for taking a beginner. Snorkelling and free diving will do.
No way I'm going up in a helicopter - a personal dislike distrust I have for them.

Yes to all except parachuting which is not something I plan to do anytime soon. To quote Lord Billy of Connelly 'why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane?'

I would strongly recommend only flying in a helicopter that has two engines - as once a single engine fails they tend to observe the laws of gravity rather too quickly.

Have only ridden a horse once but handled them on a few occasions, finding them highly unpredictable and rather scary. Plus are bloody expensive to own!

parachute no
scuba dive yes
flown in a helicopter Yes over Falmer :amex:

Our pilot actually turned the engine/s off mid flight to lose height. The up blast of air kept the rotors turning, and we descended very gently. The pilot reckoned the chopper would land pretty safely if there was a problem
