Okay it seems my story is a little different. You see, I'm not (well... wasn't) a big fan of heights when I did my first jump. At the time, the apprehension as to what it was going to be like completely overtook any logical thinking, and by the time I got to the ground I could hardly remember any of the freefall. That was until that night when I lay in bed and closed my eyes and suddenly what I had just done totally dawned on me ..... I kid you not that I lay in bed and felt sick and dizzy at the thought of falling from that plane into nothingness.
Of course, it's a different story now, I love that feeling of leaving the plane, and drop off to sleep within minutes of hitting the pillow. Okay, the DZ bar helps with that a lot, but it's the same without ;)
