I absolutely recommend doing this! Skydiving was one of the most amazing experiences, and I can’t wait to do it again. Actually, I kind of wish it had been longer and maybe a little “wilder.” I’m thinking that the next time, I might like to jump from even higher (I did about 13,000 feet). Maybe from the height where they require oxygen masks. =)
It’s such an incredible rush, and the experience of freefalling is incomparable. As soon as the parachute opens up, be prepared for this overwhelming sense of peace and clamness. Everything is so quiet and still and beautiful from so high up. And you have no window or other barrier keeping you from being surrounded by nothing but sky.
One last recommendation, if they sell a video, BUY IT. Especially if it’s your first time. You may not quite remember everything from the descent, because it all happens so quickly. And it’s great fun to be able to see your facial expressions and reactions. Plus, you can prove to family and friends that you really DID jump out of a plane. And they’ll all be amazed to watch.
