I suppose as most people say "I wish I had tried that", now's your chance, why not give it a go.
There are several ways to get initiated into the exciting activity of skydiving. One of the most common is something called a Tandem Skydive.
But that passive position is the perfect beginning for some. It allows the novice to get acquainted with skydiving with minimal risk, minimal anxiety and minimal training. Other jump programs require several hours of ground instruction.
Tandem jumping, by contrast, gets students into the air more quickly. Though there's still often some amount of training on the ground. Since the tandem instructor and student are tied together, there's a certain amount of cooperation needed to exit the plane safely and descend properly.
When the pair exit the plane, the tandem instructor immediately deploys a small chute called a drogue. Typically about 4 feet wide (1.2m), it helps slow the descent of the pair to normal free fall speed, about 120 mph (193 kph). Without it, the combined weight of student and instructor would result in terminal velocity of about 200 mph (321 kph) or higher. That's much faster than a first time skydiver should experience. It also would introduce a safety factor when deploying the main canopy.
The pair then descend at the normal rate, about 10 mph (16 kph), until they touch down. The instructor then releases the student from the harness and he or she throws up. Yes, it sounds odd, but many first time jumpers will vomit from the adrenaline of their first jump. Not always, but it's not uncommon either. Even more oddly, they're often eager to jump again right way. That's the strength of attraction of skydiving.
