It looks like great fun, but I would be far too terrified to do that ! What a ride down to the ground !

60 years ago when I was 20 maybe! The closest I ever came was in the Army when I WAS 20, I made three static line parachute jumps. We were at 3000'. The line of jumpers was fairly long and you did not have time to get scared, you just jumped. Once the chute opened, it was fun.

That would be a hard pass. I'm good watching from my easy chair thank you. Cool video though.😁

...auh, no! But my son has made several parachute jumps and my godson is a Lt. Colonel Air Force Top Gun. They're fearless, I am NOT! 😬 😵 😬 😵 😬

Like Tony, I did practice static jumps when I was about 20 in the Canadian RCAF. Scary but fun then. Paragliding is something else. High Adrenalin but a potentially short life.
