No, the parachute didn't release until after about 30 seconds, there is a drogue shoot that slows the velocity of tandem freefallers so that the main chute isn't ripped from your backpack when it's deployed at around 300MPH.
its addicting in a fun and not-dangerous way. But parachute still is ;) But you have to have some fun in your life, like skydiving, and enjoy it befor it ends!!!!
its a wonderful experience and everybody should atleast tryyy it!!!!!!
It's both the scariest and most amazing thing i have ever experienced. I hope he enjoys and appreciates it as much as I did. I never expected the ammount of support and sponsorship that i received from doing that jump. It was an unforgettable experience. Good luck to him.
doing it for charity is stupid as hell but skydiving is awesome! never jumped a tandem, just solo jumps but you must get the feeling from freefall even in a tandem;)
It was the best thing i have ever experienced. It puts life into perspective, and I would recommend it as something everyone should do at least once in their lives.
Scary?

Dear All,
I have some question about psychology:
*Why do we love flying and skydiving?
*Why do we want the fun of skydiving despire the risk?
*How can the challenge in sky diving enocurage mental and emtional well-being?
THNAK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

Humans will always chose knowledge over ignorance. Curiosity beats us every time. that and the rush of the jump is addictive.
