Skydiving

A week from today I'll be jumping for the first time. To say I'm nervous would be a huge understatement.

I'm curious how many of you have jumped?

 

[JOHNROHIO]

That's what I received for my 18 th birthday. It was a little nerve racking stepping out but, what a rush for the free fall. Then once the shoot opened it was really piece full. I would do it again

 

[badger]

John did you tandem jump or solo?

 

[JOHNROHIO]

Tandem, where I went they said that you had to do so many before you were allowed to go solo. The place that I went was in Lancaster. I don't think that it took away from the experience, any time you jump out of a good plane at 10,000 ft. having a guy strapped to your back telling you what to do is probably a good thing. I'm sure I could have found a way to fugg it up. I did have to pay an extra $15 because I let go of the ripcord.

I was very, very closed to it this fall, but the situation changed and I didn't.

I was with two friends that jumped and it was a blast just to watch them!

 

[CJD3]

My daughters and I have said we would go this late summer/fall.
Should be great fun!

There ain't no way in hell that I'm going to jump out a perfectly good airplane!

I think I'd have a heart attack...

PREACH IT BROTHER!

I've done some dangerous stuff in my lifetime and jumping from an airplane will never be one of them!

 

[Buckmaster]

There ain't no way in hell that I'm going to jump out a perfectly good airplane!

That's my position in life.

 

[Gern186]

You don't need a parachute to jump out an airplane......but you need a parachute to jump out of an airplane twice.:smiley_chinrub:

No way in hell I could do that, heights scare the crap out of me!

 

[DJK Frank 16]

I'm with Chad, I'm not a big fan of airplanes or heights, so no way for me.

 

[Jackalope]

For those of you guys scared of heights you're more scared at 50 feet than you are at 5,000..

 

[Curran]

I hope I don't! :smiley_crazy:

I'm sure you'll be fine Dale...
