Well, all this interest in the 101st Airborne has made me want to try my first skydive this summer. Has anyone done it? and if so, what was it like?

I did, but my chute didnt open,so i pummeled to the ground. Of course,that was in my past life. So my opinion, yes, go skydiving, maybe you'll die oOo:

Of course I was kidding about you dieing biggrin:

Give it a whirl.

well if in the late summer you guys don't hear from me anymore, you'll know what's happened.... angel:

I've never gone skydiving but my cousin did and said he is never doing it again...ever eek:

watch a friend or go down to your local skidiving place and watch other people do it first before you go!

i wanted to do the same thing but once i whent down there and watched a friend do it ( from when he got on the plane to when he came all the way down) i was like NO WAY AM I DOING THAT its easy to say your going to do it but once ya see it happen, thats when you will know if ya want to do it, because if your stoked about it once you see it up close, thats when you know you want to do it

just watch some one do it first (not on the tv too)

before you do it, make sure you know the risks. Your chute doesnt open, your basically dead. So just make sure you know what you're doing and all the risks before you jump out of that plane

First, I suggest you COMPLETELY research the group that gives the lessons and jump time. Some fucks out there are pretty into it, but are unsafe as hell. I've done it a few times, and I can say, even after getting my jump wings, doing a freefall from a plane at 10,000 ft is A LOT different than jumping out of the ass end of a c-141, at 1250. Scared the shit out of me. Then I went back and about creamed my pants. cool:

I've done it once. It was a blast. Slagg is right, make sure you go with a group that puts safety first. Some guys are nuts. I recommend dong a tandem jump the first time. You will be strapped together with an instructor. You will be able to enjoy it more and not have to worry so much the first time. We did a couple of hours of training before the jump and I basically had to remember three things. When they openned the door at 12,000 ft, I forgot two of my three things. Hell of a rush. The video they shot is pretty durn funny too.

Ive always wanted to do it and it sounds really fun. My sister has skydived before and she said it was really fun. She said she would do it again if she had the money.

[Unknown_Sniper]

I want to go too!!!...Too bad you gotta be 18 and have to pay a rediculous amount of $$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Shakes21]

I did it once on a dare. We jumped Static lined? Jump out, shoot opens, float down. Like you see in the army movies. It was a blast. Of course I will never do it again

I did cliff jumping and bungee jumping, it is an absolute rush; better than sex or getting high. I might try skydiving if I have some cash leftover and I know the group I'll be jumping with is reputable and safe.
