I was invited to go to Freefall Adventures on Saturday but it was a washout so we went on sunday. Such a beautiful and perfect day to jump out of a perfectly good airplane lol. We had reservations at 3pm but got there watched a video and filled out the paperwork and they said we would be on the last plane at 7pm. At first we were a little dissappointed, but turned out to be well worth the wait. It was my friend sarah, her dad me going up on the same plane, and when they called for us I got this feeling of what the heck am I doing. We get our harnesses on and wait for the plane and to meet our instructor.
I was a little nevous, I had never been on a plane before and had no idea what to do, but I enjoyed the ride. Both Sarah's and my photogrophers we going back and forth filming everything, you can tell they really have fun. A few minutes before my instructor hooks my harness to his he tells me what to do, just walk out the back of the plane, and ask "you know we're doing a backflip, right" I say yeah someone on the ground told me.
The back door opens at 13,500 ft and in the blink of an eye the people infront of me are gone. My turn, the photog turns and faces us I walk and my guy just goes into a sprint and all I'm lookin at is my feet and see the edge and then it was gone. We do the backflip, the photog closes in and grabs my hand and spin in circles. We freefall for about 45 seconds and pull the cord at 5,000 ft, the photog waits another second or two to get on gound first to get our landing. It was so beautiful watching the sun go down at roughly 3K ft and could see phily in the distance.
I can't wait to go back again, it was such a rush. I say it's the funnest thing I've ever done in my life. So the first time on a plane I jump out of it.
Anyone jump before?
