I did a static line jump when I was 17. It was brilliant. Only from 3000 feet, but it was well worth it.
I’ve done bungy-jumping since, which is a lot scarier. Parachuting in comparison was quite peaceful. Almost meditative.
It was sureal looking down past my dangling feet to the ground far below.
My landing was a bit crap though. I didn’t flare quite at the right time, so I fell over. But I managed a proper roll at least. (feet turned, then roll feet-knees-hip-back)
