I've never jumped tandom, I don't want to be strapped to another dude, period end of story.

I first jumped when I took the Airborne course, where you basically throw yourself out of a plane, the chute is linked to a static line and opens right away.

I took a civilian jump course when I left the Military, and had the biggest problem with crawling out on the wing, and the second biggest problem with the whole responsible for deploying my own chute, and the third biggest problem, with the fact that you're basically flying your own air plane on he way down, it wasn't a drop, it was a coast.

I enjoyed it a lot and made a ton of jumps, before I had to stop because of knee problems.

Best way to get over a fear of high heights.

Plus the video of your first jump is worth the price of admission.
