Why
not try a Tandem jump before you decide to go the whole hog and
evolve into a skydiver?
During
a tandem skydive, the student is connected to the front
of the instructor. The tandem instructor and student are
each wearing a parachute harness. The student's harness
is attached in four places to the front of the instructor's
harness; something that easily takes place in the aircraft
shortly before time to exit. The instructor, therefore,
wears the student passenger on the front and the main
and reserve canopies on his back.
After
leaving the aircraft, the instructor deploys a small round
"drogue" parachute to keep the tandem falling
at the average freefall rate of approximately 120 mph.
(This allows the camera person to stay with the pair throughout
the freefall portion.)
Tandems fall in a belly to earth position to an altitude
between five and six thousand feet above the ground where
the drogue is released. The drogue, thus, becomes the
"pilot chute" that deploys the main canopy.
The
120 mph blast of wind is suddenly gone, and the instructor
and student can verbally communicate. Steering the canopy,
adjusting the harness for comfort, practicing landing
techniques and learning about canopy control all take
place during the four to five minute ride to a soft landing
ON THE TARGET.
The resulting adrenaline rush keeps a smile on the new
skydiver's face for quite a while. One single jump
will keep those eyes looking skyward for WEEKS afterward!!!
