I did one a coupleof years ago and it was the scariest and most exciting thing I have ever done. I did want to go straight back up and do it again though! You will love it Good luck

Make sure the person who's strapped to you is wearing a rucksack-like contraption!!!

Good luck.

if the chute doesnt open roll onto your back!! Your partner will make it a softer landing!!

I did 15,000ft (2.5 miles) over the Great Barrier Reef a couple of years ago.

One of the best things I've ever done. Only the initial jump out of the plane is scary, the rest is amazing!!

Enjoy!
