Jumping from a plane at a height of 8,000 ft at speeds up to 200 mph sounds like something only an idiot would do. The wind rocking your body, scenery looking nothing more than a blur, and planet earth getting bigger and bigger as gravity pushes you down to what could be the last thing you ever will do doesn't spark much interest to some people. However, skydiving is now starting to show its true colors. The excitement and thrill of freefalling 8,000+ ft to the ground is putting even the bravest to the test. Skydiving though, is not quite as dangerous as people say or think. Over a ten year report, there were only thirty-five fatalities. This was taken in the United States and was out of hundreds of thousands of jumps. The odds of surviving are in your favor.
Skydiving is relatively cheap costing approx. 100-200$ and there is good chance that there is a place to skydive at near you. Usually the cost will cover the lessons and the equipment needed to have a safe and enjoyable jump. Skydiving is something everyone should consider doing because it is something you will be able to tell people you experienced the thrill and who knows, maybe you will make it a hobby.
