Sky diving


Basically its called Tandem Diving. An experienced sky diver and you are tied together and dive. You have to maintain your bode in arc shape while diving for minimum air pressure.

Cut all this crap... and as another sky diver told my friend remember 3 things:
1. Breathe,
2. Keep your eyes open and
3. Enjoy

Its real fun, you get all the details of diving beforehand and when you board a plane(you don't need a boarding pass) pose for a decent pic, if you have hired a cameraman. Cameraman also jumps with you and takes your pic and records everything.

Coming to main thing: Jump from 14000 feet above the ground level...WOW... what an experience.... and you free fall under the impact of gravity(g=9.8m/s2) at a speed of 120 miles/hr. Its real fascinating. I was numb for 3-4 secs initially and didn't knew whats going on.. Ya but later I was enjoying it... I just reached to 6000 feet in less than a minute. And then we opened parachute and with sudden force we went up and since we slowed down in air, I could watch the view clearly now.. the view was awesome and then we were moving in air.. It was damn good... and then finally landed safe n sound and in single piece.

Its a life time experience. I really enjoyed it. I loved it. And will try to do it one more time.
