    It's alright, they're generally very gentle if it's your first time

    Interesting video with an interesting sound track. I once worked on a similar model of aircraft they jumped from, many many years ago when i was thrilled by aircrafts---the Havilland Twin Otter.

    The soundtrack was put on there by the jump mans, and the plane was gaffer taped back together that morning. I wasn't worried.. I had a chute on.

    Wow, that looks super scary.

    Not sure if they're available, but I have seen on TV skydiving without a plane and a parachute- it's pretty much a wind tunnel turned onto its side and you enter it.
