Freefall

Freefall has to be one of the most amazing experiences in the whole world. If you have never thought of doing it, it probably is not for you, don’t do it. But if you have, just do it! It truly is a once in a life time experience. I must warn you though it is highly addictive. Believe it or not in freefall you feel like you are floating, you see you are so high up the ground does not rush up towards you like you might think and the parachute is open well and truly before you are anywhere near the ground due to the extra safety guidelines for tandem skydiving.

Now I can hear some of you saying right now, “what fun is that, I want to get as close to the ground as I can”. Well there are different horses for different courses, and if that is your buzz I would recommend jumping off Buildings, Antenna’s, Structures, or the Earth, also known as B.A.S.E jumping. But I can tell you right now jumping out of an aero plane is definitely a buzz without pushing the limits, and if B.A.S.E is something you would like to take up as a sport, skydiving is definitely a safe stepping stone towards it.
