Not so dramatic as free fall but I did static line jump from 3000 feet. My first thought as I arched and looked at the wing receding in front of me was "I'm not in the plane anymore!". Followed by a few seconds of not remembering anything, then hearing the voice of my instructor Mickey in the back of my brain screaming "Check chute, check chute!"
Sure was peaceful floating down after that. Haven't done it since but it was worth doing at least the one time.
And yes, make sure your harness is tight - very tight. You do NOT want it shifting in your crotch on the way down. Learned that lesson once when rappelling - man that was a fast decent!
