Hehe, yes, bloody dangerous! Cheers!

I'm going to do my first tandem skydive tomorrow. Yesterday I sprained one of my fingers, playing computer golf in the pub (the one where you hit a ball with one of your hands). I will still be able to do the jump, right? It only hurts when I bend my finger a lot.

Trust me, mate! I would love to do the tandem now and then the AFP jump for my birthday, but I don't think my girlfriend would be too impressed if I spend so much money on it, as we're saving up to buy a house. And house prices are VERY high in London.

Allright. Thanks mate. Yep, a bit nervous, but getting more and more excited too.

How often statistically does the parachute not open? And are there any stories about the reserve not working either? Guess you've got to be pretty unlucky. Has anyone of you had the experience where the main parachute didn't open?

Yep, that could be fun to do an AFF jump, but I haven't got the money/time to do it

Because I turn 30 on Saturday the 8th of October. I hate the idea of leaving the 20s, but if I absolutely have to, then it has to be done with style I'm also doing it for charity.

Thanks mate! That's what I needed to hear!

Hi, I'm going to try a tandem jump in October, but I'm already getting slightly nervous. First of all I have to say that I absolutely hate that drop feeling in a rollercoaster, but I've been told that I won't experience that feeling, when skydiving. It's more like floating, I've been told. Is this true? I know that the body adapts quickly to the 120mph I'll be falling with. But how about just when I leave the plane? Won't I experience that dropfeeling for a short time? I really hope someone can answer my questions as I'm very very excited about my first jump, but also quite nervous and a bit scared.
