What happens when you skydive?

What happens when you skydive out of the plane?

This is such a difficult sensation overload to put into words! What it’s not like is a roller coaster, you know that tummy flipping, gut wrenching lurch of feeling.  It’s very, very obvious that you are falling, & that the earth is getting very close… Very quickly!  (What is also very apparent is that if your instructor doesn’t pull the parachute soon you might not last much longer… but this just adds to the fun!)

And when the Parachute opens?

Your first feeling might just be thank goodness I survived that! The whole thing is a sensory overload. The ride under canopy is startlingly peaceful, with time to look around at the views & process what’s going on

Time to land (phew I hear you scream?)

We are never sure if this is relief it’s over or gutted that the experience is about to come to an end. The big question:

HAVE YOU GOT THE BUG? For some people once is just never enough, that’s when we know we have a budding skydiver on our hands which is when the journey begins
