Your First Skydive

[Dillon Levenque 1,701]

Sure, you're a little nervous but you've gone through all the ground drills and the experienced skydiver who will be your tandem seems very capable. Finally it's time to board the plane and just do this thing. As the plane gains altitude, the instructors start the equipment checks and the litany of pre-jump instructions.

BAM!

Uh, what was that noise?

Yay Kiwis.  Everyone's fine, thanks for asking. :-)

the jump staff went back up again today. no worries renay matey (:

the main jump guy said about the actual incident that he was really pleased with the people that were on the plane with him and the other jump staff. He said they never panicked. Just listen to the jump staff, lined up and jumped out when was their turn. He said was pretty good of them and no worries

If  I had survived that, I think I would have a problem flying on airplanes that dont have parachutes on board.
