Thank you again guys! I am positive it was caused by motion sickness and something like Meclazine should help me, although obviously I will have to make sure there are no serious side effects before jumping.

Actually I ate a sandwich not long before the take off. Also, I wasn’t really that scared or nervous, the only scary bit was when they opened the door and I realized I would be thrown out of the plane in a few seconds. I think I will take some pills before next jump.

Thank you everybody for the suggestions! I don’t know what type of plane it was, but it was very small and we were packed in it like sardines. The harness was so tight that I still have red bruises on my shoulders. Add to it a long travel to the drop zone and a long wait on a hot day and you can imagine that it wasn’t the most pleasant experience. But it is encouraging to know that nausea is not uncommon problem and people cope with it. I am thinking of doing a static line jump now to see how my body reacts and will take it from there.

Hi All, I am new to this forum and new to skydiving. I did my first jump (tandem) last weekend, but it didn’t go too well. I felt sick during the fall and actually threw up before even landing (luckily the instructor had a bag handy). I was going to take up AFF course and I am still enthusiastic about the sport, but not sure if I can handle it. I even feel sick when I travel backwards in a car or train. Can I somehow prevent the nausea? Is it something that will go away after a few jumps? Any advice will be highly appreciated.
