Ortega / PR PhotosThe former 'Star Trek' actor believes as long as he keeps having fun, it will be impossible for him to die.He said: "I've made no plans for my funeral, no. I don't plan to die. I'm having too much fun. As far as I'm concerned it's not going to happen."However, the 77-year-old actor revealed he has had one near-death experience.He added: "There was a time when I was flying in this motorised parachute approaching the Ohio River. There were power lines over the river and I was about 600ft in the air, but I had got a bit nervous and sweaty and my hand kept slipping off the throttle which meant I began descending."The more nervous I got, the further I sank. I didn't fancy my chances with the power lines or the river, seeing as I had 75lbs on engine strapped to my back. It was quite a moment, I can tell you!"(C) BANG Media International
