Me jumping from 2.5 miles (13,000ft) in the sky. This is how I celebrated my 27th birthday!! There were a couple of times when fear sank in only for a split nano-second, both can be seen in the video. The 1st (1.49min) was when I realize my left shoulder harness was slipping off and I tried to pulled my arms back to hold on; ergo the chicken wing posture as I free fall downward. The 2nd (1.02min) was after the parachute cord was pulled, my instructor said "we have a slight situation, but don't worry as I can fix it. The parachute didn't fully open all the way, I think I can fix it without cutting it and using the reserve. So stay calm." Those were his exact words...and well the rest was history as I safely returned to earth using the 1st chute. I had fun and would totally jump again!

  • Anh, that was totally amazing man... I love how you went from being all excited and confident when you first took off on the plane... and then when you were about to jump out, you seemed a bit more timid...hehe... I think the scariest part about skydiving is the 15 seconds right before you are about to jump, some of the freakiest 15 seconds of your life!

  • Hi Ahn, this is mayumi.
