What Does Skydiving Feel Like? | DROP feeling?

I've never seen a women instructor! Not only that but a mother! That's one badass mama!!

I think skydiving is more fun when you have pretty view 🥰

My first skydive I had same emotions you did, I'm like. Pff, easy, not scary at all. Then the door opened up. I went from super chill, to 100% panic and freaking out. Once I was pushed out of the plane and in free fall I was super calm. I'm a skydiver now. PS. The stomach drop feeling you get is when you're accelerating fast. Since your plane is moving at speed you don't get the feeling. If you jump out of helicopter, you typically do get belly drop feeling.

This is probably the most relatable description of sky diving and the sensation, or lack there of that you feel. I love roller coasters, but the hardest part about them is that free fall feeling, when you feel your stomach drop. I have learned to cope with that for the sake of the the rest of the ide being enjoyable. I would love to have the sensation of flying without that stomach drop feeling. Thank you for clarifying that for people like me.

I went skydiving this past Tuesday the 26th of February 2020, and it was SUPER AMAZING! I had such a blast on my first jump, I went up a second time 30 minutes later. I honestly feel everyone should do it at least once in their life. One thing I would suggest is to breathe in from your nose to get air into your lungs. Awesome video.

Great video. Looks like you had an amazing time. Can’t wait to get my nerves together and do it! Going straight for the Aff course. Yolo 😄🙏🏻 thank you, enjoyed it

me in the air: AHHH I REGRET THIS OMG after the dive: wooh that feels im a badass, i wanna try it again

My story is that I am a pilot, almost commercially certified. I know some people who used to be jump pilots, and one of them told me that I should go skydiving if they were to offer me a job. It shows that you are into the sport, and willing to make a contribution above and beyond just flying the plane. After 2 cancellations for weather, I finally went up today, and in one word, it was insane. It was cold at 10,000 AGL (13,000 ASL), and of course very windy. There was the initial drop, and then I managed to convince myself that I could breathe. With definite effort, I overcame the sensory overload and soaked it in. Then the parachute deployed (it was incredibly soft, I barely noticed it until I was vertical), and I did some turns and a spiral. My instructor took control at about 1,000' and we landed softly back at the airport. I still can't believe it, but is was the craziest most fun, and unbelievable experience I have ever had. Whenever you have the chance, do it. Get the photo package as well. Your first jump is something you will want to keep in photo and video forever.

That’s the only reason I wouldn’t want to skydive. That feeling in your stomach. Thank you for telling me

Thank you so much for this video! I just reserved my jump for January 😅 I feel a lot better and confident about doing it now

Thank you. Very informative. Just what I was looking for.

It’s always in my dream list. 💕

So I've booked my FIRST tandem jump! I want to disagree with your tip 'Don' t think about it'. I'm really excited, but I AM afraid of being afraid, so thinking about it is practically all I've done! I don't want to be surprised or intimidated as we reach altitude, so I try to visualize every aspect; the rush of wind, the view, the sounds, will I be cold- everything. I want to embrace the experience and have no fear! However I do refuse to think about failure, mishaps, accidents or being afraid. Great video, I'm your newest subscriber! 👍

You make this seem like it's so much fun, which I'm sure it is. I can't wait for my first jump.

These skydiving tips are helpful. I'm hoping that I can skydive in the future.

Mine was the most awesome experience. My instructor was awesome. He’s one of the top rated instructors there. All of them seem to be but this guy went skydiving over 4100 times. My jumpers 14,000 feet. And he explained everything really thoroughly from beginning to end before we got on the plane. And then he actually reviewed with me one last time right before it was time to go. He’s really calm and funny and his jokes are really good. Really helps you forget about the nerves or I should say it this way. It kind of takes the edge off. And you feel calmer. I was a very first one jumping out of that plane. And as soon as I stepped out it was the most amazing experience ever!!!!!! Especially the explosion of adrenaline and I had extreme amounts of your four that I have never felt before. My instructor even spun us around in circles in the free fall. More than once. Spun us quite a few times. I meant to say that I had the explosion of extreme euphoria. Sorry about the mess up there. But he actually asked me if I wanted to get spun around and I had to say yes. One minute goes by and the next thing you knew I got to help him deploy a parachute. My ears were a little bit unequalized but he told me just to blow out a little bit but not too hard and so I did and it works. But I lower you get the more equalize your ears get. I knew that from the beginning that it could happen. It does not hurt at all. It’s like the airplane feeling. I flew through a cloud in the parachute and I did the wild version of the ride. Doing some crazy spirals. Right after my instructor leaned us out of that plane I was hooked and addicted. Mine was at skydive Spaceland Dallas. I really recommend you go there the next time you skydive. They are great. A top rated facility. I’m definitely going back in July or August. Also met another instructor on the ground after landing who helped me inside to remove my harness while my instructor moved his. The instructor who helped me out was amazing. She asked me if I had fun and we talked for a minute. And then my actual skydiving instructor. The one who jump with me give me a scan of a booklet to keep. It was nice meeting another instructor after landing. I messed up a little bit. I’ll say the sentence again. My skydiving instructor gave me a booklet to keep with me to keep track of skydiving.

Really appreciate you sharing this experience with us. I actually came here from your Bora Bora video, But now i am also thinking about skydiving. Thanks

I've done three tandem skydives & you describe it very well. I will just say that once you are out of the plane and you achieve terminal velocity it simply feels as if you are floating as the air feels as though it is holding you. Also I reommend that people do not consume milk before flight as milk & flying do not mix!

Wow, I am pretty relaxed after watching your video, I am going to do it within a month I am sure. I am nervous and excited at the same time lol 😆

GREAT VIDEO! I DID MY FIRST TANDEM IN 2016 AND I JUST RECENTLY GOT LICENSED TO JUMP ON MY OWN A MONTH AGO
