Why do you think is the reason people jump from a plane with parachutes???

Question

What's their motivation? fun? love risk? I wanna jump from a plane, you know...things to do before you die..is it worth it?

Answer 1

It's great fun! And it's far less dangerous than walking down the road as well. I've done it a few times now and it's a great feeling floating through the air with just a parachute keeping you from plummeting to your death!

Answer 2

I've been jumping for a few years now.  I started jumping, thinking it would be a one time thrill ride, but after that jump I knew I had to keep jumping.  For me there is no place better than in free fall.  it is complete freedom.  for 45 to 60 seconds there is nothing except you, your friends and the sky.  I have more fun jumping and flying my canopy than anything I've ever done. You get into the sport for the rush but you stay for the people.  My best friends are all jumpers.  We are a special breed.

Answer 3

My motivation.  Boy it was fun too!  I went tandem with the instructor.  Both my husband wanted to do this for our second wedding anniversary.  We had one hour of instruction, and I knew that I'd do free fall for 2,000 ft. before the chute when up.  I felt safe, even though I signed like 5 pages of waver forms.  lol.  I talked with people who had done this, and based on their experience, it just sounded fun.  Anything is a risk, but to me, it's not much more than riding a bike down a steep hill.  I looked at it that way.  That's not the only thing I want to do before I die.  But I can cross that one off the list.  :)

Answer 4

It's like asking why would you try something new, probably to experience it.

Answer 5

Its like a roller coaster... but instead of your stomach flying around everywhere, Its like your guts have shifted to your backside!
