World’s best skydives

Some people seem to have a fascination with descending from a high place at rapid speed, with the ground coming up at them like something straight out of a Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon.

Here at GetListy, we’d be perfectly willing to jump out of an airplane on two conditions:

1. We had at least one parachute, and

2. The plane in question was on fire.

Realizing that this is not a universally held standard, Forbes Traveler has put together a list of “10 Most Beautiful Skydives.”

If you are up for that sort of thing, you’ll probably enjoy these:

1. Mt. Everest, Nepal/Tibet

2. Lido Lakes, Indonesia

3. Swakopmund, Namibia

4. Gardiner Valley, New York

5. West Coast, New Zealand

6. Tympaki, Crete

7. West Tennessee

8. Oahu, Hawaii

9. Yarra Valley Winery, Australia

10. Wainfleet, Ontario
