PlanJam!From your screen to the scene

Why on Earth would anyone willingly jump out of a perfectly good airplane, let alone pay for the privilege? Simply put, because sky diving is just such an exhilarating, liberating experience that truly changes your entire perspective on everything in life, and nothing else really comes close.

Of course, besides building up the courage to plummet thousands of feet in the air, the biggest challenge is getting other people to go in with you! Sky diving is really something to do with at least one other person, and I’m sure you know of at least one crazy friend to do it with! Since this is tandem jumping, the more tricky aspects are handled for you, even though you do get a good amount of training before you board the plane, along with super instructors who have done this hundreds of times. Besides, how else are you going to get such an incredible view with a peaceful decent?

Some of the best candidates for sky diving are actually those who have advanced fears of heights, in my opinion. Riding a roller coaster is far scarier, due to all of its jerks and pulls, and boarding a commercial airliner is so claustrophobic! Even the sheer act of standing on top of a small building is worse, because you generally don’t have anything to protect you from falling! So don’t be shy about encouraging your fraidy cat friend to join you! And hey – if you too have a fear of heights or a fear of airplanes, this just might be the ultimate way to conquer them both together and share an incredible bonding moment with your nearest and dearest at the same time!

Obviously, the location is a bit of a drive from the city, since you wouldn’t want to land in the middle of heavy traffic or get stuck in a tree someplace. Therefore, it’s only fitting that those who are too over stimulated to drive back home have a place to handle some down time. Located at the epicenter is a wonderful all included park, with a dining area, full service bar, gym with spa facilities, canoeing, horseback riding and yes, even camping! Plan a full weekend around your jump, and go ahead and bring your non jumping friends with you to cheer you on – even if they think you’re completely nuts!
