First Skydiving Experience 2011

in #skydiving8 years ago

I just wanted to share a few photos from the first time I went skydiving. The first image is of me walking towards the plane. I was 25 at the time and didn't know what to expect. Jacob 003.JPG

I'm looking out of the plane waiting for the skydiving coach to tap my shoulder to prepare for the free fall. Jacob 031.JPG

Geronimo!

Had a rough landing as the coach wanted us to land on our butts to make it easier. Boy did it hurt! I wish we would have just walked and ran lol. Jacob 108.JPG

This is cool! Would like to try skydiving and it is off reach to me as I am living in Hong Kong. We need to travel to far far away for this. Now I get just many other reason that prevent me from trying. I do hope that I can try it after I retired, hope that I won't be too old for this at that time. :D

I hope the following link reassures you that its never to late. It shows a 101 year old veteran skydiving.
