Skydiving

Now, I've done a few tandem skydives in my time ranging from a murky one in Cambridge, UK to landing on the beach in Mission Beach and looking at the beautiful reef while I was serenely floating to the ground (obviously, that bit was after the 120 miles per hour freefall for 45 seconds!) but I've always wondered: 'why bother with the 10,000ft skydive'?

The reason I ask this is that if you're going to throw yourself out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft with a large handkerchief tied to your instructor's back and a lead holding you to him then go for the big one - the 14,000ft. Skydiving is scary enough anyway so get the benefit of 45 seconds of lung-emptying screaming and face wobbling.

Enjoy your next skydive!
