Hello,
I'm a new guy here from California. I just found out that my girlfriend is taking me to go skydiving (tandem) in Lake Tahoe on May 9th for my 30th bday (which is may 12th). I'm pretty excited about it and nervous at the same time. I'm finding it a little difficult getting over the fear of the parachute not deploying but I'll get over it.
I'm sure this has been asked a million times and I'm sure you're all sick of this question by now but is there anything I should worry about? My parents are not taking this so well and have called me selfish and stupid for wanting to go through with doing this. Am I really doing something that's as risky and stupid as they say it is? I understand I'll be jumping out of an airplane here but seriously?
Corey
