  • ok so hopefully someone will answer this for me, so im a highschool football play about 16 yrs old and i dont really get scared but i dont like rollercoasters because i dont have any control but i REALLY wanna go skydiving...any tips for nerves or anything?

  • @xXEagle2101Xx The key is remembering that statistically you're safer jumping then you are driving a car or walking onto a football field. You'll be strapped to a certified jumpmaster with hundreds if not thousands of jumps under his belt. In my opinion, the ride up is the most nerve-racking part of the experience. Once you're out the door it's nothing but fun!

  • @peterdennis thanks, the ONLY thing im nercous about is the parachute not opening though

  • @xXEagle2101Xx That's why you'll have a backup parachute specially packed by a packing expert, and an automatic activation device (a combination altimeter/computer), which will automatically deploy the backup parachute if you don't. Don't worry! Be happy!!!!

  • think I can convince my parents to let me do this for my 17th birthday? :P

  • @MegaDefuse Depends. Are your parents awesome? You'll need their signature!

  • @MegaDefuse no reaosn why not, its safer than most sports. like football

  • @MegaDefuse You have to be 18 or your parents have to sign for you to go at 16 or 17

  • @peterdennis well my dad is awesome haha, I can probably get his :P

  • @destinyson23 Yeah. Keep in mind that a bungee cord has no backup systems. Your parachute does, and you'll have a licensed professional with thousands of jumps under his belt strapped to your back. As such, it's probably a safer and more fun experience. Enjoy it to the fullest, and have no fear. Trust me... it'll be one of the best experiences of your life!
