Description:
As your Super Twin Otter reaches an altitude of over 14,500 feet your instructor tells you its time. Your heart starts pounding from the adrenaline and excitement as you inch closer to the open aircraft door.

You peer over the edge and then, in a split second, you are on the most exciting thrill ride of your life with an expert instructor at your side.

As you fly through clouds at over 120 mph, for a full minute, you feel a complete and total sense of freedom not found anywhere else in the world.

Once the canopy opens, and you parachute deploys, you can take in views of the beautiful Philadelphia skyline!

  1. What if I'm afraid of heights?
    Many people are hesitant to skydive due to their personal fear or discomfort of heights.  A skydiving experience does not equate to being, for example, at the top of a ladder, bridge, or building.  You are simply too high up to have any height induced vertigo or dizziness.  We are literally over two miles up when we skydive.  An individual would no more encounter a fear of heights during skydiving than when flying in a jet airliner. 
  2. How hard does the parachute open?
    Most students would say the parachute opening was not nearly as hard as they anticipated it to be.  On occasion, the parachute will open harder than normally expected. 
  3. How fast will I be falling?
    Typical freefall speeds are approximately 120 mph although this can increase or decrease slightly with body size and position.
  4. Can you breathe in freefall?
    The freefall and parachute environments do not cause any difficulty in breathing; however, some students have commented that it was awkward to breathe during the first few seconds.  This is caused not by lack of oxygen but by the surge of adrenaline and excitement of first jumping out of the aircraft.
