Did You Ever Attempt to Fly as a Kid?

I was too afraid i'd break a bone if i tried myself so i used my younger siblings as test dummies of flight lol.

We were on vacation on the 5th floor and I took of the curtains of the hotel and i cut an "S" so it'd be like a cape cut my moms silky pants to make a mask and I stood on the patio and shouted "I am super Tim" let's just say I spent the next year in a wheelchair

i thought they could carry me :(

My flying machine was my grandmother's umbrella. It worked for half way down from a four foot porch!

Ok not with balloons but I was pretending to be Wonder woman and although she can't fly, I felt I could. So I jumped off a stool yelling "WONDER WOMANNNNN!" and sadly landed on my face, which happened to hit the concrete floor of the basement. Wasn't one of my finer moments but hey I was five...

I build one out of peanut butter jelly and some leftover toast as I thought they were magical ingredients.... I didn't fly I twisted my ankle .... But i did have a pretty yummy sandwich... My brother ate it . True story!

Actually I'd jump off the arm off my couch and flap my arms for hours on end.

That's Great!!!! Bonus Rave =)

I wasn't an idiot.

I wasn't even a silly kid.

I got a bunch of balloons, but I wasn't successful :-(

I did dream of it pretty often though and felt so great everytime I sored through the sky...I had a very strong will for flying but there was nothing I could do about it except for dream about it.

Do it now. They have all kinds of plane rentals they fly then u take control. Not too much price wise for the thrill of it all. Dont dream when u can live.

thanks :-) maybe someday when I have enough money to do it.

no

I jumped off of our roof and landed in one of my Mom's prized Bird of Paradise bushes. I thought surely my cape would carry me. It failed, and so did I.

I jumped off my bed and flapped my arms around and ended up kicking myself in the vagina really hard. ow.

yes..and i fell ):

I tried two high pressure hoses. That didn't end well...

but i had dreams all the time that i could fly. I always wondered what the meaning was behind that.

Great Acid. Lol kidding

LOL, you have to be

I used to go out evernight that there was a full moon, and id do this little dance and I'm not so sure that I thought they were aliens but they weren't human, maybe it was more like fairytale creatures. I always waited for them to come out and share their world and knowledge with me and stuff so I could be like leonardo davinci or albert Einstein. and i was convinced that i was an alien like superman that looked human but wasint LOL i believed that as i got older id be able to fly so id run as fast as i could and jump and spread my arms and mark how far i "flew" with a marker and scream to my family that im becoming a better flyer!!! I had quite the imagination lol I can't even imagine how much of a handful I was to my parents ,jumping off of the roof onto a matress and other crazy things. Amazingly I never got hurt HAHA.

I also tried by climbing onto the roof and jumping off with my blanket tied around my neck.

I did the same thing haha! But I put a mattress at the bottom incase i fell ,which in fact i did lol.

If we had had an extra mattress lying around, I probably would've used it. I knew I couldn't sneak something that big past my parents and siblings.

My brother did that and broke his collar bone.

I have a hard time with my joints at age 51. I've often wondered if some of it doesn't go back to my "jumping" days.

Could be.

flying as in a helicopter or an aeroplane....

Not a fair question,
Actually Yes, I tried flying on TWA and was quite successful. First attempt ended up in Colorado. Too bad Trans World Airlines is no longer around. I always wanted to buy them and change the name to Trans World Air Transportation with the slogan. "And they say their skies of friendly. :-)"

i'd run around really fast, close my eyes, and pretend i was in the sky :3

That was fun too. I would spin in circles every time Time Tunnel came on, so I would be in sync with the main character.

^ actually not with a bunch of balloons, my answer wasn't there. Yea, I've tried, but not like jumping off a cliff expecting to soar on the wind but instead breaking your spine type of thing.

It wasn't a kite, but a large umbrella. I didn't break anything. LOL

See...that umbrella saved you. :)

Yes, actuarially I would have liked to be able to fly like “Rocket Man.” Like the Disney Rocketeer, he used a jet pack.

...or like John Robinson on "Lost in Space."

We kept trying from the time we were about 4 or 5. Tried umbrellas, a box kite, a sheet rigged like a parachute, Jumped from garage roofs, shed roof, trees (not really smart), top of a small sand hill in the neighborhood (with a box kite on a very windy day), and a few very high walls. Somehow none of us managed to break any bones! And, we weren't going to tell how we got the scrapes and bruises. We started this back in the era of WWII...
