"Bah, anyone can skydive" you might be thinking... But do you really know if that's true? Do you think you would dare to jump out of a small plane at 4,000 feet? Do you know how your brain reacts to such height?

Let's say you're thinking about a different plan, maybe taking a look at some proposals on the internet, maybe wanting to do something that has always been on your mind but you've never dared... and Suddenly, without knowing how or why, you have just arrived at a website with skydiving offers.

"What if I skydive?" You ask yourself... "And why not?" A little voice inside your head tells you... But... do you have what it takes?

Skydiving is one of the star activities and a favorite among those people who seek high doses of adrenaline and it is not surprising, since during the minutes you are in the air strong>completely indescribable sensations invade you, far from any other experience you have had before.

I'm going to explain a little about the process in case you're still not clear. After making the reservation and setting a date (obviously), you go to the airfield and the professional skydivers from the school describe how the activity will be carried out, what the safety measures are, what exactly the jump consists of...

Once everything is clear, you get on the plane with the monitors and jump attached to one of them when the plane is at an altitude of about 4,000 or 5,000 feet (it will depend on the contract). />
How does your brain react to such height?

Well, even if you don't believe it, if you have vertigo and are one of those who are afraid to look out onto the balcony, you should know that when you are so far away, the brain is not able to find a fixed point from which to draw some reference, so the height perspective disappears and you will not feel that vertiginous sensation.

And once you jump out of the plane...

At that moment a feeling of weightlessness invades you in which you can practically notice that you are flying. Additionally you will feel the speed and a release of adrenaline that will travel through every part of your body. You probably need to give a good scream to release everything you have inside. Give it!

The free fall lasts approximately 40 seconds to one minute and then the pilot will open the parachute. You will then have about 3 or 4 more minutes in which you will plan to being able to breathe again and relax enjoying the landscapes from up there. This flight will be the culmination of a truly spectacular feat.

So... do you have what it takes?

This is an experience that you have to do at least once in your life and especially before the age of 30, when we are still willing to do "crazy things" that make us feel completely alive before leaving that time escapes us of the hands. Dare to jump, with a pair!
