First tandem skydive - 5 myths about skydiving (Really!?)

Planning to do a tandem skydive soon? You might have a lot of questions. Let me help you by going over the 5 myths about tandem skydiving especially if it's your first time!

The 5 myths are:
1- Skydiving is dangerous... Not as much as you think!
2- It feels like a roller-coaster... Not at all
3- I have the fear of heights so I can't jump... False!
4- We can't breathe while falling... The wind speed isn't the reason
5- We go up when the parachute opens... Hahaha right...

Enjoy and share with your friends who are going to skydive for the fist time!

You really nailed the explanation of the fear of heights thing. I have 41 jumps and I am petrified of heights. I tried to explain to my friends that the vertical at that height seems surreal, like you said, a Google map.

I'm over here falling asleep when the beeps at the end just shook my soul back to unconsciousness lol

I'd agree with the comment about 'fear of heights'. I'm much more scared/jittery looking down from a skyscaper or cathedral (say 500 ft high) than looking out of an aeroplane (15000ft). The 'reality' of the height/fear of falling/level of insecurity = much more intense when stood on a tall building - from a great height the ground seems 'unreal' (almost like looking at Google Maps).

I'm scared of heights and afraid of flying and I did a tandem skydive in Aug. 2019. It was so enjoyable. It's like nothing I have ever experienced before and I can't wait to do it again. I'm considering AFF.

I signed up for my class A license course for July. Gonna do tandem first. Got bored and tired from coronavirus lock downs. Skydiving looks fun, and skydiving community seems fun too.

Thanks for such an informative video regarding tandem skydive

[bryanworkman]

I finally did my first tandem! I'm having trouble describing the feeling, but it was incredible. Guess I need to do another one.

[scottgentry]

Great video. Always answer the questions i have since i just began my AFF course.

[markrichards]

I’ve done 13 tandem skydives now. Absolutely love every second of it.

[gloria]

I'm so excited about doing my first jump that I'm dreaming of it. All great dreams; No Fear!

[bwnco]

I vote for more of your screw up out takes... those are funny n Cute! Good Video.

I went with a friend that did a few jumps already. We were laughing pretty much the whole time (our dynamic) so I wasn't nervous at all, let alone think about the build-up to jumping.

Find a friend who makes you laugh and do your first tandem together even if neither of you have jumped before. You won't regret it!

June 22nd 2020 will be my first tandem jump. So pumped I can't wait!

[drew]

On my 4 jump in aff. But I remember my first jump I had some of these thoughts, but just do it lol!

[courtneycifuni]

True about the roller coaster!!! My parents make fun of me because I jump but I refuse to ride a roller coaster

[patrickmitchell]

U made me feel so much better I have to admit I'm so scard to jump because of the dead air jump feeling thanks for making me want to just go!! Your awesome

[nancyreder]

I love your videos and you gave me a lot of knowledge I am thoroughly looking forward to my first tandem skydive and I do a lot of research and video watching so that I'm fully prepared I would not be nervous I am not afraid of heights I am claustrophobic but I think I would just embrace jumping out and enjoying the whole experience opening my eyes and breathing only through my nose thank you for your videos
