and your body resists it.. it doesn't want to jump
Mind over matter and out I went.

I can still see and hear the noise of the exit out the back of that skyvan..



I did tumble cause i had forgotten to kick legs back so i summersaulted out instead of ending up flat. But I saw that skyvan get smaller and smaller, it was great

It was a big confidence boost for life after that. knowing I don't freeze up when it's time to do something scary
Yep, I've been skydiving too. It was absolutely not scary in the least. It was very interesting, lots of noise when you jump out. Then once the 'chute opens, almost complete silence.
