Go Ahead & Jump!

A friend of mine did something recently that shocked yet mesmerized me, he jumped out of a plane. I really did not think he was the type, but when he described his experience, it didn't seem so reckless. He was attached to an instructor in a tandem parachute system so they could descend together with dual controls. The training took about a half-hour and he got a video souvenir of the day. My friend seems changed by skydiving: he described it as a "real rush" and sports a new "windblown" hairstyle. Nonetheless, it is a dangerous sport, so he said I could find out more about Tandem diving and what to expect at the USPA site: http://www.uspa.org/
