I'd love to do it.
But then again I'm only married and don't have kids.

It was a tandem jump, it ran me $200. Its an additional $90 for the DVD and photos which I passed on this time. We had a $30 discount for being students. The GF got the whole package for $260. Then a few more bucks for beer
The training was very thorough just kind of fast paced. I had a few things I needed to go over afterward. All the "jump" consisted of was a three step motion of ready, set, jump. After you exit you just put your arms out and legs out, toes to the sky. Thats it, during the fall they show you how to spin and what not.
The best part to me was right when the shoot was deployed how quiet and relaxing it actually was, I just took a deep breath and took it all in. They let you control the shoot also, they showed me how to turn and before we landed we were doing death spirals
But you can just float down calmly too.
Believe it or not I felt more safe than I have on many roller coasters. I asked the guys about bungee jumping and they were terrified
. The guy was like "I came into this world because of a broken rubber, I dont wanna leave because of one." I understand you have a family but I honestly feel its something everyone needs to do once.
