    What mode of transportation scares you the most?

    I'm terrified of being in a helicopter. If you're not too far off the ground, and  there's engine failure or something goes wrong with the propeller, chances are very high that you're going to get seriously hurt or killed. They just spin out of control when that happens.

    I've only been in a helicopter once, flying over an active volcano on the island of Maui.  I didn't think about the dangers.
    A friend of mine was afraid of flying; claimed the only thing keeping you from a 35,000' fall was a fancy piece of plywood.
    As for myself, being a passenger in an automobile is really scary.  I prefer to be the driver.

    I know that's a popular attraction on Maui and I think my aunt and uncle took it about 30 years ago. They could NEVER get me into one. Here's a recent crash from 12/7/11: http://www.msnbc.msn.com. No video. Only the story. http:https://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45592052?ocid=ansmsnbc11#.TuFjLPK8hkE

    I don't think I want to watch it.

    Airplanes.  When we go to Las Vegas my mate flys.   i ride the train.

    I was terrified of river rafting down the Thompson River but no one ever dies on the Thompson River so it turned out to be a hoot! 


    Transportation doesn't scare me... the drivers do.

    YES......was it great!!??
    FISH-O

    So much fun!

    Just getting in my own car on a daily basis is scarey,too many crazy drivers out there.

    a car, only when driven by my wife, no joke...

    lambshank

    Id swap that for my husband, I won't get in the car if he's driving

    Driving in a car with my oldest daughter and son-in-law. They zip in and out of traffic. Almost had a heart attack.

    Driving a twin set of trailers coming down Donner Pass  when its snowing That bothers me!!

    michmar118

    THAT I can understand!

    Flying. Recently flew to Germany, and that was it. Never again. Prior to my departure back to the states, I swallowed at least ten Xanax, and drank  three pitchers of beer. Have no recollection of the flight back. The fact that some else has my destiny in their hands is unnerving. Same with wife, hasn't flown in years.

    ed shank. i don't know why your answer tickled me. but is does. i got you though. i don't fly either if i can help it.

    A skateboard.

    Never thought of skateboarding! My hubby is right at home at the thought of that!! He's an old pro.............

    I never been on an airplane, but I think that form of transportation frightens me most. I saw on TV how many plane are flying at once. Better hope air traffic controllers don't fly you into another plane. I was told when a plane is landing, it feels like a roller coaster. Is that true? I HATE roller coasters.

    Clonge

    I've flown many times and have never had a "roller coaster" effect.It's amazing that with all the planes flying at once in congested areas, that more collisions don't occur. Chalk it up to training,alertness, technology and luck.

    Bicycle (traffic), then a boat. Never been on a helicopter.  Hot air ballooning  I would love to do, perhaps until I got into the basket, that is.  Always wanted to ride in one over the gorgeous mtns I live among.  Still think I'd like it. Not afraid to fly. One day I will, on some momentous occasion.

    I'm with pythonlover, the car scares me, so many maniacs on the road, Id rather fly any day, I enjoy any sort of air travel.

    I was gonna say helicopter too, b/c when those blades stop churning, you can't glide into an emergeny landing in a farmer's field.
