Nice! I love skydiving. I was expecting this big "stomach dropping" sensation like on a steep rollercoaster... but there was none of that with the freefall. If you smile (which you will) the wind may blow your lips open like a dog out the car window... flap flap flap... But the biggest G-forces are after the 'chute opens... yank the control strap HARD, swing out, dive steep..... Oh yeah... (assuming you get to use one of the foil-type aerobatic 'chutes)...
Let's go!!!! I have a discount certificate for anyone near Snohomish field!!! Woohoo!! Anyway... d914, I'm glad you did it. It's an experience you will always remember.
