    From what I understand, you experience that "butterfly" feeling due to the acceleration of the roller coaster (for instance). However, when you jump out of an airplane you are already going at terminal velocity, so you don't speed up any upon exit, thus no butterflies. hope this helps. and I think that the best way to describe the free fall feeling is floating. Imagine laying on your back in a pool not moving...just floating. That is what it feels like to me, except you are face down for most of it....hehe.

    don't worry so much about being "afraid" to exit, look at it in this way: you are excited b/c you GET TO jump out of a perfectly good airplane! If there was no exciting feeling in the pit of your stomach, why keep doing it again and again?? You will do great!!! Blue Skies and soft landings!

    I have to say that you are 100% accurate on the whole job issue. I work overnights and have LOADS off free time on my hands. And, what do you suppose I spend it doing? Yep...you are right. Looking at skydiving videos, shopping for gear, planning my next trip to the dz (which is about every other day or two) thinking about my last jump and my next jump and everything else you can possibly think of. Its pretty dangerous having your mind on skydiving 24/7 but alas I LOVE IT!! p.s. on the whole poll thing...i was not nervous one bit. I thought I would be, but I wasn't. I have 21 jumps under my belt since May 2006; and can never get back up there soon enough it seems!
