Is it normal to want to jump?

First of all I just want to say I'm not suicidal or anything but sometimes when I'm on tall buildings or I'm in the mountains looking over a cliff I have a sudden urge to jump off...this probably isn't normal but does anyone else feel this?

    I just realize that I think about this too. Do you know how much fun that'd be?!? It's like your flying but if only there was a nice and soft way to land...

    I 'risk' my life 4 times a week going downhill mountain biking :) only thing that makes me feel happy is knowing I overcame a massive risk when I get to the bottom. Steeeaazzzyy

    You have a risk addiction and a constant need to feel more alive.

    Seems you're an adrenaline junkie. Try sky diving and bungee (punji) jumping.

    Sometimes when I tell myself not to think about something, my mind automatically thinks about it. Is is something like that? That's completely normal. If you're having suicidal thoughts, then you might have a problem.

    As ling as y don't actually do it I guess it's ok. Do u feel trapped at all, maybe it's a need for freedom thing. There's a sport u can do but of course it involves jumping from high places with a parachute, dangerous but fun
