Alright everyone, I need help deciding. This weekend, if everything turns out right, I am planning to go skydiving. It has been a lifelong desire of mine to do this, and this is the year that I am going to do it. I had thought that tandem was the only way to jump, but the place also offers static line jumping for a first time also.
For those who aren't familiar,
tandem is where you are strapped to a more experienced person for the entire jump.
static line means that there is a line attached from the chute cord to the aircraft so that when you jump, your chute deploys. static line jumping is done alone with someone on a radio guiding you down.
Hubby thinks that if I am allowed to jump alone, that I will klutz it up somehow especially on landing. He is not going to be the one jumping. I think that since it is offered, static line jumping would be so totally cool. What do you think?
