SKY-DIVER
Clem Quinn
Clem Quinn was always interested in flying. When he was
five, he tried to fly by jumping off the garden shed with a golf
umbrella, but when he grew up he didn’t become a pilot, he
became a taxi driver. Then 20 years ago he did a parachute
jump and loved it. He decided that being a taxi driver in
London was a lot more dangerous than jumping out of a plane,
so he moved to the country to learn parachute jumping and
sky-diving. He is now a full-time teacher of sky-diving. He says:
‘I love sky-diving because the world looks so good – blue sky,

green fields, white clouds. You float through the air, it’s like
floating in water. You can see forever, all the way to the French
coast. The views are fantastic. You can forget all your worries.
People think it is dangerous but it’s very safe. Football is much
more dangerous. Footballers often have accidents. When did
you last hear of a sky-diving accident? Next July I’m going to
do a sky-dive with 100 people from six planes. That’s a record.
I’m never going to retire. I’m going to jump out of planes until
I’m an old man.’
RACING DRIVER
Sue Glass
Sue Glass had a car accident when she was eight so she didn’t
like driving. When she grew up this was a problem, because
she got a job with a car company. Then six years ago she met
Julian Swayland, a racing driver, and she told him she was
afraid of cars. He wanted to help, so he took her to Brands
Hatch, a Grand Prix racing circuit. He drove her round corners
at 100 mph and she loved it. Then she heard about a special
motor racing course. She did the course with five men and was
amazed when she got top marks. She says:
‘I think I did well because I listened to everything the teacher

said. I needed to because I was so afraid. The best moment
was my first championship race. I didn’t win but I came
fourth out of 20. I love the excitement of motor racing but
it’s a dangerous sport and I’m always very frightened. In fact
I stopped doing it a year ago, because I got so nervous before
each race; I felt really sick. I’m not going to race again, I’m
going to teach other people to drive. I’m going to open a
driving school next year.’
