The subject of the day is the experience and wonders of skydiving. It explains how they set you up for it and how they prepare you to jump. Also what the experience of falling from the sky feels like. Which is pretty overwhelming at first until you get used to it. The steps are very simple and easy to remember, but they are also very important.

Now on to the instructions and things to remember when jumping. The instructors will guide you through it step by step. Make sure you relax your arms and legs while your falling. Remember to breath it does get a little difficult to breath after falling for a while. But before you even get in the plane the instructors have you put a harness on. Unfortunately you must be strapped to an instructor for your first few jumps or if you’re licensed.

Then once your done setting up everyone gets into a small plane. The plane starts to take off and flies about 13,500 feet into the air. Once you’ve reached that altitude everyone starts to jump one at a time. Depending on were your seated you will see people just jumping out of the plane. Now you’re up its time for you to jump out of the moving plane 13,500 feet in the air. All you can see are clouds and your nerves start to kick in but just relax. Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for what’s about to happen.

Finally the big moment has arrived you jump out of the plane. Your falling at about 100 mph, you can’t see anything but the world beneath you. The only thing you can hear is wind passing you by. Your heart is racing and a million thoughts are going through your head. Then a sense of relief comes along as the parachute deploys, leaving you floating slowly down to the ground. Everything becomes silent and the scenery becomes clear. It is such an amazing point of view to look at the world from horizon to horizon. Now it is time to come to a complete stop where you started. Which isn’t that bad but you do come in kind of hot so be careful and remember to raise your legs.

All in all this has been a wonderful experience and real exciting too. Well worth overcoming your fear of jumping from a plane. Just remember to relax, breath and have fun. Overall skydiving is a great experience and is very fun and exciting. But for anyone who is scared of heights I wouldn’t recommend doing this to them.
