Hey, thanks to everybody for your replies. To answer some questions, yes this was my very first jump. I haven’t done any tandem or wind tunnel before (I thought before trying the AFF about doing the wind tunnel thing but where I live there is none, which sucks). Hey Lowpull, I understand your concerns and believe me that I am not gonna make a decision just over an internet forum. I needed it to know if this had happened before. Now I know there is something call sensorial overload (I can do a little research). My jump master didn’t even mentioned there was such a thing; He just told me that I would have to repeat the jump (which I don’t mind), Did he forget to tell me about sensorial overload? Did he care if I knew? Who knows? But the truth is that I would not make a decision on continuing or stopping just because a person with a Master or instructor title is telling me to do so nor I would stop or continue just because someone just advised me to do it in a e-forum.

I had my first AFF jump today and I failed. I exit the plane nice ( I remember that) but then my mind went blank. I was not there. I kind a remembe checking for the altimeter and my brain would not process the information. Actually in the pics they took I appeard most of the time looking to the dame altimeter, I was staring to it but I could see no freaking numbers (I was not there). Of course I failed to pratice reaching the pilot chut aswell. Well Anyway when I kind a came back into sense I was already at 5500 and I remember at that moment that I have to pull the pilot chute, well when I tried to reach I COULD NOT FIND IT. Thanks God my jump master did his job and deployed the thing for me. I enjoyed my chute ride. But I can not say the same of the freefall, of course cuz my brain was shut down. Does anyone from this forum did go through and mind blank thing in their first jumps and was able to overcome the issue? Or should I just stop jumping.
