Has anyone skydived before and how did it feel like?

Question

I've been thinking out skydiving some day but I'm saving money for it. May anyone tell me how it felt like? :)

Answer 1

It's pretty awesome.  

But there are lots of other awesome things in the world.

Answer 2

I've been skydiving for over five years. I've accumulated almost 1,600 skydives and have been teaching it for over two years. It feels great!

There is a misconception amongst some that skydiving will be similar to a roller coaster. This is not true! The stomach feelings you get from a roller coaster are from accelerative forces on your body. In skydiving, we're at a terminal velocity of about 120mph. This means there are no accelerative forces on your body. You won't get any feeling of falling at all. Since you are in freefall without any feelings of falling, the actual sensation is that of flying or floating.

Trust me, there is no sensation like it in the world. You'll never forget it!
