I"m 65+ and my daughter wants me to go skydiving with her. I have to say I'm excited about going for it. It would be a tandem jump. I want to know if anyone else has done it?

Made a tandem jump. Very exhilarating!
Several things that were surprising about it: had to sign a release because tandem equipment was considered "experimental"; didn't really experience falling sensation upon exit from plane (due to continuing forward momentum of plane -- the way a bomb has to be released well short of intended target); also, it was quite chilly at 13,000 feet elevation during freefall (even though ground temp was over 90).
Did jump for a feature story, and won an award for the piece, titled: "You realize this is dangerous..." Rest of the quote -- in the body of the story was -- "and you could die."

Anyone skydive??
When my granddaughter turned 18, the skydiving release,was her first official document to sign and I always thought about it. We did and are planning to jump again when she turns 21. I'm just 46 years older than her.
Yes to pics and videos.

I did twice, Once because I wanted to, the second was because the wife wanted to, but I had to go up with her. It was fun, the guy let me control the decent on the second jump. It is not something that was so much fun I want to do it again, but it was fun. I guess it was more of a bucket list thing for me.
