Parachute jump - Faw_Peter - 07-17-2008
Hey huys, I wanna make a parachute jump. I want to find out if you tried it, share your experience with me, I can't determine myself :banghead
Re: Parachute jump - Steven - 07-18-2008
Hey Peter, I wanna have a parachute jump also, this summer. I don't know, people say it's only the first two minutes that feels scary, but it's not so much I guess.

Before jumping with parachute you should pass a training. It's not a joke you know, it might be the last thing you do. That's why learn pulling the ring when you should.

The sensation is as if you fell in a deep well.
The worst is the expectation. You sit and stare at the opened hatch, it's scary - but you have to jump.

I once had a parachute jump. I remember well that day. I haven't even managed to get scared - everybody jumped so quickly and they pushed me too. I forgot to take off my glasses, good glasses :x

The thing which happening to me is quite strange. When I first jumped with parachute I didn't feel any fear at all. But, the second time I jumped I couldn't get rid of the fear, it was pursuing me during the flight... The third time, I felt again in my waters.
Re: Parachute jump - Benn - 07-27-2008
If you are a novice, I would suggest to jump from not a too high height. Let's say 500 meters will be more than enough. Plus, beginners could practice the type of parachute jump when the parachute is already opened and you don't have to open it during the moment you're flying.

watch how a guy jumped with parachute for the first time:

Re: Parachute jump - Benn - 07-31-2008
well done. A very brave guy. I think before jumping for the first time, one should consult a psychologist
Re: Parachute jump - M.Helen - 08-01-2008
I don't know about psychologist. But definitely a cardiologist. The heart might not resist the adrenaline during the first seconds of flight.
Re: Parachute jump - Terry - 08-06-2008
There is also a danger not to last to much with the pleasure. A 4000 meters-high jump will only last 60 seconds.

A friend of mine jumped with a parachute, and he said it's not that terrible as everybody think it is.
He even jumped once again after that.

It depends on each person separately. As you’ve said one would want to do a second jump, the other wouldn’t even jump of the plane
Re: Parachute jump - Terry - 08-18-2008
I know, and it's a fact, that girls are not as afraid as boys are if it comes to parachute jumps.
Re: Parachute jump - Karl.in.eu - 08-18-2008
I doubt this because I don't know any girl who would actually enjoy a parachute jump. :-)
Re: Parachute jump - Steven - 08-19-2008
maybe because you don't have many girls
but actually it's true - men are good at speaking, but not in actions.
Re: Parachute jump - willyoumind - 08-23-2008
I never tried a parachute jump before, but I really familiar with the Bumgee Jump...
Do tell us your experience, after you've tried it
uper
Re: Parachute jump - Faw_Peter - 08-25-2008
What is with the Bumgee jump? I've never heard about it. Is it a kind of great historical parachute jump?

You meant Bungee jump?
That is jumping from a height by being attached to an elastic rope, that will prevent you from hitting the ground.
To me this is stupid.
Re: Parachute jump - Hakan G - 09-27-2008
A lot of accidents happened with this type of entertaining.
Re: Parachute jump - Nicholas - 09-27-2008
Well, if you look closer to the statistics, merely everything is dangerous.
Re: Parachute jump - Hakan G - 09-27-2008
Going to regular gym classes, is definitely safer 100%
Re: Parachute jump - Terry - 09-27-2008
bungee jumping gives unimaginable adrenaline. It makes your heart PUMP PUMP PUMP. Many pee in their pants when doing the jump.
Re: Parachute jump - Karl.in.eu - 09-28-2008
Are you saying this for real?
Re: Parachute jump - Benn - 08-11-2009
If honest I was a little afraid to jump but after so many lessons I think I'm ready. Wish me success
