Strap Into Fun And Free Falling While Tandem Skydiving In New Jersey
Tandem skydiving in New Jersey is a very popular sport. Since
tandem parachuting is one of the easiest, and perhaps the best
for a novice, ways to experience the extreme sport of skydiving.
There are several benefits to tandem skydiving. One benefit is
that there is not very much training involved. Another benefit
is that is that you can take comfort in the experience of the
jump instructor you'll be working with. One final benefit is
that there is an automatic activation device on the parachute,
so your chute will be sure to deploy at the appropriate time
during a jump.
Classes and Lessons
Skydiving begins with a training session. The session will teach
you the basics of skydiving, the equipment necessary, and what
to do in the air. After your training session, you will go
through a regulatory equipment check procedure. The safety
harness you are wearing will be checked by your instructor for
proper fit, and then you will be headed to the plane for take
off. The flight itself takes about twenty-five to thirty-five
minutes. During the final minutes of your flight to your dive
destination, the instructor will review the basics of the dive
with you to ensure you are properly prepared to make your jump.
A few minutes before the exit from the aircraft, the instructor
will lean out the door to guide the pilot in terms of final jump
preparations as wind conditions can vary from day to day. A few
minutes later, you and your instructor will walk to the door and
begin your jump. You will free fall for approximately five
seconds before your first chute, your drogue chute, will be
deployed.
Eventually, your instructor will let you know that he's about to
deploy the main chute. Once the chute is deployed, you will
begin a gentle descent to the ground. The instructor may even
allow you to steer the chute on the way down. Landing is the
final step to skydiving tandem in NJ. The instructor will do
most of the hard work during this portion of the jump. Skydiving
is a popular sport throughout the world. Skydiving in New Jersey
is an excellent way to experience the sport.
