I've never been skydiving (not sure I'd have the nerve for ir), but I have an inkling of the experience of that serene joy when you were floating on the 'chute. Many years ago I tried parasailing off of a very long rope that was being towed by a boat. Not being one for such adventures normally, I was very anxious at the start, but once up, could have stayed there all day. Great images. Thank you.

neither am i the adventurous type. And i'm not comfortable on water, actually, so to me skydiving was easier to approach... Thanks for your comment.

Great decision and great photos!

I've always wanted to skydive at least once, but never had the guts to do it.

After my stepson's boss died in a skydiving accident in France (together with his instructor), I buried the idea altogether. Yet I wish I had done when I was younger, if only for bragging rights.

Thank you. In my experience, it felt very safe, and apparently the probability of accidents is low. This said, i'd probably react the same way if i was in a similar situation.
