WOW, I could never jump out of a perfectly good airplane!
My sister jumped 2 times.... She is the dare devil in the family.
Now from what she told me, is that you initially jump with the instructor strapped to your back (tandem) and the instructor does all the work. Then you will eventually get to take your solo jump afterwords.

I was not tough enough to sign in for skydiving lesson, but I did a tandem jump.
A big advantage was that everythone thought that I was nervous about the jump and not about the people around me.
Instructor gave a quick instruction and then I was already sitting in the plane.
The flight was great and let me forgot about why I was there.
After opening the door my heart rate increased dramatically. Then everything went very fast and we jumped out.
I can't describe the free fall experience it is amazing feeling.
A pitty that my friend doesn't want to sign in for skydiving. I don't want to do it alone :

:I had a two days training for skydiving. After all this theories lessons I'm really scared to do it. Last week it should be the day, but fortunately the weather was too bad.
It sounds ridiculous, but even I'm scared to do it, I don't have the courage to cancel it.
I'm worried about what they are thinking about me...
I'm not sure if this is coincidence, but after all this stress I now have lumbago.

I've made a few jumps - it's awesome!! That was many years ago. Would really love to go again some time.
The thought of actually jumping out of the plane and falling through space didn't scare me so much, because I knew there were safety measures. I was way more scared of doing something wrong and making a fool of myself.
