how come you know my story?
i guess for most of us skydivers the experience of the first jump - whether tandem or static - is very similar. and it's a great mind- & life-changing experience (no matter if you get hooked and start skydiving yourself or if you keep it as a priceless experience).
i've been jumping now for two years & i'm working with a tandem team so i see a lot of passengers. and it's always a great pleasure for me to see how people change when they come back from their first jump. i just love the smiles and the shouts!
one thing i'd like to mention to the pro's for it's really important: if you are on a plane with passengers and you realize the y start to freak - try to be there, give them a pat on the shoulder or just a few words (even in prejump status when the door is already open - there's time enough) - they'll remember you and have an even better time once they are outside The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle
