Tandem Skydiving - Parachute Jump with DVD from Red Letter Days
Our skydiving experience involves jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet, which might be considered utter madness. But if close friends start wondering aloud about your sanity (or the contents of your will), you can reassure them that throughout the tandem skydiving experience you'll be attached (literally) to an expert instructor and that, frankly, you're in for an experience so exhilarating that you'll probably never going to stop talking about it. This tandem skydiving experience begins with around an hour of instruction, before you go up in the plane. You'll be securely harnessed to your instructor, who will help you jump from the plane (or at least help you fall with style). You'll get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so completely incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Then your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and try to come to terms with the adrenaline rush. Back on firm ground, you'll take home a photo and DVD of your tandem skydiving experience.
