It made me

exhilarated

How I did it: Let’s face it, going tandem on a parachute is like being driven around by your driving instructor. It is not the same as driving.

I was a bit younger when I did this and a little less risk adverse. I took lessons in a country where you could not sue the operator after signing a waiver (which kept the costs down; it would have been cost prohibitive in the States at the time). After 5 static line jumps I packed my own shute and went for it! Read how I did it… 23 months ago
