First Skydive for a height phobiac, Terrified - See from 1:30

I don’t feel like skydiving really allows you to conquer a fear of heights because your brain doesn’t fully comprehend it as such in the moment. I have more anxiety on a tall ladder than I do throughout the whole process of skydiving. It was incredible.

I almost crapped my pants at 3:48 ... I though the plane somehow caught up to them and the were gonna collide into it :P

Omfg.. I WOULD OF FAINT!!! I’m even scared of the swings..at school.. my friends try to help but when they do I scream

I too am absolutely scared to death of heights. But I still cleared AFF and had a blast jumping. One of my Jump Masters said her husband, who also jumped, was so afraid of heights he couldn't go up a two-step ladder without panicking. But he thought nothing of crawling out on the side of an airplane, 2 miles high, hanging on to nuts and bolts before jumping.

Love how some newbie look like a "dog out the window at 60MPH". To you NON-jumpers, YES you can breath while in freefall, and talk too.

Well done on facing your fear of heights! Great jump! Skydiving opened so many doors for me. I've done bungee jumping, zip-lining, passenger rides in aerobatic stunt planes and wing walking. All good fun that is ready to watch on my YouTube channel.

Everyone is scared of heights. It's 100% natural, and nobody isn't. There are only those people who push themselves past that fear, and those who don't.

You're in good spirits for someone afraid of heights & about to jump out of a plane!

Wel done, Karan. You faced your fear really well, sir.

I was a Marine and we were in a chopper flying over a Pine forest and in a bank I really wanted to dive. Later I was a SCUBA diver and loved to "fly" down the water column in free descent. This coming summer I pledged to myself to do a tandem jump.

The thing with skydiving and fear of heights is, that it does not really apply. Fear of heights is something more or less natural that occurs mainly when you are standing on a fixed object with a ground that is visible. If you are in a plane and you are above clouds, I highly doubt that fear of heights would be an issue since there is nothing your eyes can fixate onto. When skydiving you are moving in the plane as well as when in freefall so fast that your eyes cant really fix a point on the ground hence no real issue here. If in doubt, consult your dropzone.

Cool jump man! It's like floating on a bed of air!

Awesome dude !!

Did your stomach feel like it was dropping. As if you was on a roller coaster and dropped ? And was the height an issue thing? Because I hate heights

i cant even look down from 2-3 stories

He is not a phobiac, just the normal amount of excitement for first tandem.

WOW !!

I really want to skydive but I’m terrified of heights. Is this a good way to conquer that fear?

Anyone else shit their pants when the aeroplane appeared behind them 🤔

I can’t get on Batman at six flags without crying. Guess If it doesn’t change the stomach from feeling that drop, then I won’t be doing this 😭😭😭
