Nothing can beat the exhilaration you feel after your first parachute jump from a plane at 3,000 feet. This is one of the most challenging sports ever invented! Supervised by British Parachuting Association instructors, your ground training is rigorous and you must be fit. Jump from the plane on a "static line" that opens your steerable parachute automatically, freeing you to enjoy your breathtaking descent.
