Tandem Skydiving

July 4, 2012

For the past weekend, I went to do a tandem skydiving in Frankfort, IN with 4 of my coworkers.  It was a different experience compared to an indoor skydiving.  Check out the video and it should explain everything !!!

The jump roughly starts at 10,000 feet once an airplane reaches that altitude.  The canopy releases around 3,000 ft.  The parachute gear and the hooks sustain 5,000 ft/lb of stress.  It is an amazing experience and once in a life time opportunity.
