If you are afraid of heights...

[SRTie4k]

DON'T DO THIS!













If you aren't however, I would HIGHLY recommend it

It's nowhere near as scary as I thought it would be, plummeting to the earth at 120mph. The most intense part is the initial freefall out of the airplane, and if you've been on a rollercoaster that takes a super steep drop, you'll know what it's like...but with nothing restraining you. You freefall for a minute before your tandem instructor pulls the chute, and you're then in the air for 7-8 minutes.

Next time I go I want to do the Superman and dive straight down and see how fast we can get

If you've been on the fence...do it, you won't regret it

I was there on saturday too. We got there at 11, jumped at around 12.

Oh and fyi, terminal velocity is the speed at which an objects force of gravity is equal to the force of drag. Typically a skydiver in freefall, with arms and legs fully open in a laying position, will achieve terminal velocity at 120mph from a low altitude. If he pulls his arms and legs in to his body and goes into a dive, it will decrease his drag and he can achieve speeds of 200+mph.

World record for skydiving speed in a straight dive is 614mph, achieved at a higher altitude where the atmosphere is thinner to reduce drag.

I went to Skydive New England in Lebanon Maine. It's roughly $200 to jump.

I've seen enough planes and helo's on the inside, I wanted to see what the outside looked like.

[AdvanSRT-4]
