I did it 5 times . We did not go out with an instructor, we were tethered to a static line, that pulled the shute automatically. I went out on a Friday night, and got rip rocked drunk did not wake up the next morning on time, and my buddy and I blew off our 5th jump , in which we would have been signed off to jump solo with no static line, at higher elevations.
The plane crashed that morning. No one got seriously hurt, but I never went back.
I agree that it was a total rush. We jumped out of an old Cessna, and it required that we climbed out of the plane and stood on a little foot stool, and hung on the the wing strut for dear life before letting go. This was the scariest part. Once out of the plane, I would describe it as peaceful.
