Theory

You get a clear explanation before the jump, so you know exactly what is expected of you. Everything is of course all about safety. You get to wear an overall and a harness. And wearing very trendy glasses. Otherwise you will not see anything because of the wind in your eyes.

The jump

Enjoy the view and listen to the sounds on the ground. It is a surreal experience. You make the perfect landing under the watchful eye of your family and friends.
