Will Smith on Skydiving

Will Smith talks about his experience skydiving. Funny and inspiring with a great message at the end!

[@arthur3821]

damn he his such a good story teller! "on the other side of your maximum fears are all the best things in life" so true...

[@KB-sv7fm]

TüR Fear has its good qualities. It can prevent you from doing something stupid , or at least be cautious.

[@sirbuionut7955]

People with anxiety must see this !

[@MS-nm2kt]

Sirbu Ionut that’s why I’m watching it

[@Gary-tc7zx]

It's why I'm watching and why I've booked a jump with my wife in 5 days. I have high anxiety about everything, maybe this will help, who knows lol.

[@tonyhaskellful]

@@Gary-tc7zx how'd it go man

[@geekybench]

Anxiety and fear is not the same thing. They may be related, but not the same thing.

[@OhhhJP]

Its just weird with anxiety i have NO fucking reason to be anxious. But my hands will go numb i get lightheaded and its hard to breathe. I dont get it and it sucks. I wanna be masculine yanno?

[@ramram2377]

I went today. Everything he said was on point

[@georgejacob3162]

Will was exactly right! I did a skydive in September and it was just like floating on a bed of air. As I left the plane it felt like the plane was shooting up rather than me falling down. I wasn't even scared in the plane but I was super scared before getting kitted up! I even went back to the car and seriously thought about driving home! So glad I went through with the skydive. I have since ridden on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman bi-plane!

[@jdog1390]

Skydiving tomorrow. Terrified of heights but gotta get over my fear! Wish me luck everyone!

[@Adventureusla]

If you're coming to Skydive Perris you should look for me. ;-)

[@sozusagenMabaru]

How did you do?

[@jdog1390]

It was incredible. Fear is a Liar!

[@fistpunder]

So has anyone heard back from jaspreet gill? How'd the jump go?

[@stefano5245]

tomorrow will be my time...:)

[@LinChandler]

These are the words that filled my head and heart yesterday when I went with my daughter skydiving for her birthday. I wanted to be sunny, happy and psyched for her. I watched this on Wednesday..a few times. It helped me to make sense of my feelings and turn the whole game around. IT IS PURE BLISS when you step through that door...you really feel that you are flying...and then the shoot opens and you are flying in awe-filled peace, quiet and calm. Holy crap...scaredy cat turned convert.

[@mikewilson7748]

Went skydiving today for the first time, so scared until I left the plane, exactly what Will said, so peaceful and blissful, absolutely amazing

[@markrichards7164]

I’ve got my first skydive in 10 days time. Love this video.

[@aljazsevsek2946]

I started to train before 2 months and made 6 jumps till now - best thing ever.

[@melaniechamberlain180]

This is so true! I'm so pleased someone told me to watch this! I'm 63 years old and I had a few wines when someone in my local pub asked if anyone would do a tandem sky dive for charity with him. I said no! Then I thought about it and decided for once in my life to go for it! Woke up the next morning totally regretting my decision. A friend told me to watch this, which I did on the morning of my sky dive - totally correct - I didn't sleep much as was thinking of all that could happen - however, up until the moment I was hanging out of the plane I was still scared stiff and the moment we exited the plane, the fear WENT AWAY! Totally replaced with the awesomeness of it all - it was absolutely the best thing I've ever done and still buzzing 9 days later and sooooooooooooooo wished I'd done this years ago!

[@femylafi]

63.... 😱.. And did that... Kudos to you... I am not where near that age and I couldn't do it. I would literally loose my bowel control and would be like that hysterical toddler holding onto rails and peoples legs crying... And I am not ashamed to admit that either.

[@melaniechamberlain180]

@@femylafi haha, I used to say exactly that, I'm just so pleased I did it.

[@femylafi]

[@markrichards7164]

Totally agree with your comments. November 5th will be my 5th tandem skydive in 100 days.

[@tiffanylcollins3631]

Oh my God!!! I am so proud of you Melanie!!!🤗😁🤣

[@Picla_Peremohy]

I started skydiving in May 1976. I can remember my first jump as if it had happened only 15 minutes ago. Will Smith provides a wonderful description of the total exhilaration of skydiving. Tremendous video and awesome message at the end.

[@isabelleconklin1302]

Thank you will Smith, you made me feel SOO much better about my first jump in a week

[@henry_9]

that's what i call great storytelling

[@Napoleon3411]

Reminds me so much of the scene in after earth where he said "Fear is not real, Danger is but Fear is a choice"

[@meetobar4869]

"Why do you need that fear for? Fear of what!" These words touched me very deeply and I always watched this video before I go to an interview or an important event in my life. Will Smith thank you for inspiring me. Now I have a beautiful job, working with great people. I'm learning to brand new things every single day.

[@catchup164]

Life is full of fears I like what he is saying like how the best feeling is after the fear, , like after death it's paridise it's scary to die obviously but afterwards it must be amazing bless

[@georgejacob3162]

catch up. Exactly that! It's just getting through that fear!

[@emilionajera1485]

For those who are thinking about skydiving for the first time… this video is a must!! He articulated that so perfectly. Couldn’t have said it better myself 😅

[@viewpoint6215]

4:06 the noise you make when you know your life is over

[@martina8651]

When I saw this video and saw that part it blew my mind how perfectly he described it because I did the same thing when I skydived 😂

[@Hitoriookami]

Going sky diving this Thursday thank you will smith for making me more excited instead of scared ♡

[@tanhuulusoy]

Are you alive???

[@katrinagibson8572]

Skydiving tomorrow, wish me luck :)

[@melindavarga5696]

I'm going for my 34th birthday to jump in 2 days. Since I was little I dreamt about jumping and I am excited about it. 2 years ago I saw this video, every time I watched it, made me excited, worried. So this is it, I will jump. Now I watch the video over and over again to build up self-confidence because I'm afraid of the unknown. Thanks Will, "bliss is on the other side of fear" will be my mantra. 😁

[@anonymousmink5027]

How’d the jump go? I’m actually jumping myself on the 25th of this month for my 19th birthday, looking forward to it tbh

[@melindavarga5696]

@@anonymousmink5027 awesome! Just pure joy and 1000% adrenaline. Except when i panicked when the plane door opened. It was really loud at 3000 m and windy, and the cameraman dissapeared in 1 second. At least that was my perception. The jump from the plane was a little bit scarry at that altitude, but the instructor pushed me 😂i had no say in that 😂. And the rest is how Will describes it. I didn't feel the butterflies in my stomack at all like on a roller coaster. I will for sure this year jump again 😁

[@createdbycamo1]

This is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen in my life. Thank you :)

[@br2722]

Lmao literally he described it reallll goood lmao impossible to forget that feeling

[@alimohammad4007]

I just went skydiving yesterday in Montreal and everything this legend said was all 100% true. I felt everything he said

[@OLahh29]

Just did my skydive few days ago on the Big Island and I too have this supposed fear of heights. Let me tell you, this was one of the BEST experience I've ever had in life. You're literally just flying for 30sec(10,000ft) without that feeling you get from a rollercoaster...NONE! It's all in your mind! Now I can't wait to try out other locations like Dubai and Bora Bora! JUST DO IT!

[@MaxivanJoy]

i saw this vid a lot of times & really love it sooo much..thanx will for sharing your experience with us👍❤👍.on my #bucketlist: skydiving in dubai with will smith

[@jevroii3637]

I remember my first jump. I bought a skydive sometime in April two years to go with a friend and had a bit of an anxiety when we were supposed to do it. The certificate was going to expire after six months and around that time my car was broken into, significantly damaged and stolen by a towing company. Not sure how to describe the feeling but it was enough to where that fear was gone. I had the skydive at my disposal and figured, why not. It was a blast. I did it five more times after, including one I was scheduled to work two hours after that jump cuz I couldn't get a day off work.

[@tracyfischer6586]

I always come back to this video! The fear of the fear is always scarier then the reality. Speaking, putting ourselves out there. Skydiving. That first kiss. Etc etc etc. Buying your first rental property too! I am going to share this video with my clients. Just ❤ it.

[@stalinvincent5429]

Golden words and 100% true.... ❤️❤️❤️

[@georgejacob3162]

My skydive is on my channel. I was properly scared all morning but I was totally relaxed throughout the flight from getting in the plane until landing on the ground again. I was sat near to the door but 3 other tandems went before me and they went down real quick but when I left the aircraft it felt like the aircraft WENT UP real quick! It's as Will Smith describes it. It doesn't feel like you are falling at 125 mph. It feels exactly how it looks. It feels like you are floating on a bed of air. It feels like the ground is coming towards you rather than you going towards the ground. When the parachute opened I said to my tandem instructor "What was I worried about?" For me it isn't the height that scares me it is the fear of the unknown as I step out of my comfort cone. Before the skydive I did some Zip-lining, Indoor Skydiving (highly recommended as this gives you the feeling of free-fall but without the height) and I have since done a wing walk atop a Boeing Stearman bi-plane.

[@cellardoor199991]

Just saw your vid on the channel. Amazing. You look more excited than scared. I'm going to try it next year. It's on my bucket list.

[@georgejacob3162]

MR.X. Thanks! I've literally just returned from doing another Indoor Skydive session. I highly recommend you do an Indoor Skydive before doing the real thing. I think the two Indoor Skydive sessions I did before my proper skydive helped to prepare me in some way for the real deal. I wish you luck with your skydive next year. It is VERY scary but do it anyway and you'll most probably want to do more! I certainly want to do more next year! It's just getting through that fear and doing that first skydive. I'm 45 years old and wish that I had started skydiving 20+ years ago!

[@user-vi5qf7nf9u]

After watching this video, I decide to go skydiving and learn English. :) and I am big fan of smith~! 화이팅!!

In point of maximum danger you don't feel fear. In point.

It’s been 3 years since I’ve seen or shall I said hear this ..I was on a bus sitting beside a women watching this video without headphones, as I was scrolling through my phone focused this speech somehow installed into my consciousness… “God placed the best things in life on the other side of terror” wow

[@JokerKnives]

Going tomorrow for the first time! I'll post a follow up comment how it went.

[@Alex94.c]

i have do. it and was the most cool experience of my life

[@allkindz6792]

Thing is, this speech wasn't targeting about Fear in Skydiving. More of people are afraid of achieving stuff in life in general and afraid something bad is going to happen to them, but in reality there's a positive outcome from it. People are afraid to take risk in life. People get so comfortable of being where they are at right now instead of pursuing what's bigger than themselves. Like what Eric Thomas said "most of you say you want to be successful, but you don't want it bad, you just kinda want it..."

[@LaCasaDePapel-mp9nx]

Since there's no way to prove that nothingness exists after death, I think we should all be prepared to face whatever's on the other side. I'm talking about finding God and living for Him before you die. Because what if. Just what if Hell and such exist? I wouldn't want to take that chance.

[@deeovid]

God didn't place anything.

[@bws205]

I'll never do it on principle, because regardless of statistics etc. there is no guarantee that MY equipment will not fail on MY jump. I've got no problem with the height or the jump or the fall....just dying, there is a big difference. I refused to go with my GF not because i'm scared, but because don't want to die (and for the dumbest reason possible).

[@luviana6949]

There's no guarantee that a car won't crash you on your way back to home, regardless of statistics.. If you choose to live with paranoia, you'll just stay on your confort zone. You'll probably get a bitter taste on long term. It doesn't only concern risky stuff like this but all these things in life we're reluctant to do because there's that " chance ' of failure.. I, for my self, try to live in agreement with what I said, but it doesn't work really fine with me, I am still afraid of that failure, I am still dependant of what others think of me regardless of how hard I try to free my self from it. But considering I try to change for the better, that feeling when I overcome that fear of failure, that fear of death, it just feel nice..

[@bws205]

Yes but the difference is, once you jump out the plane, you are dead UNLESS the chute deploys properly....riding in a car or doing something else doesn't have that requirement

[@amyiewhitfield7945]

fcastle the chances are 1 in 6000 of dying while skydiving. Chances are much higher of dying in a car. It's reasonably safe. I did it yesterday XD

[@VioletSelky]

My hubs wants to go so I'm the opposite opinion. I will do it because I'm not scared of it. Even though I have never considered skydiving. Look into the place your gf wants to go. You can even ask them for a accident report. I'm not scared of heights and I know the equipment is sound. I may freak out at the jump but why not do it anyway. And why freak out till then.
