What's your opinions on this? Anyone done it?

Are single/tandem jumps the best? I'm not sure if i wanna feel the instructors stiffy sticking in my back

why the hell would you want to jump out of a perfectly good plane and risk you life with the parachute not opening

I've done a tandem jump and would DEFINITELY do it again, I have not experienced anything so amazing in my life, words cannot describe it tbh but it truly was a brilliant experience, would recommend it to anyone!

I done a solo jump in New Zealand a few years back. It still gets me buzzing now when I talk about it. I would do tandem jump as they take you higher, but if I was only to do 1 jump, I would prefer a solo one. It's up to you though.

Whats the reason for that mate? as any jump could be dangerous couldnt it.

my opinion is the best sport there is , very addictive , will be th best thing u have ever done ... with clothes on

with regards to your first jump

u can do static line jump from around 3.5- 4k ft , u do ground school , then jump from altitude and your parachute is deployed as u leave no free fall time

u can do level 1 AFF , ground school 4 hours or so , then u jump from 12k -15k ft depending on wich aircrafts the drop zone has, u will jump with two instructors holding on to you at either side , and then have 3 practice pulls to do while checking altitude in between then u deploy your main around 5.5k feet so your under canopy for around 4.5k ft and have plenty of time to deal with any malfunctions , then as above under canopy til u land .and if u pass it u can continue the course to become a skydiver

or a tandem (i have never done one) , 20min brief on dropzone , suited up , jump from plane with qualified tandem master , who normally turns as leaves plane so u can view the plain as u fall from it , and usually does a few turns left to right , then deploys about 6k- 5k then a canopy ride til u land

call a dropzone , and disscus with the manifest office what your after for your jump...

hope it helps
