This is completely understandable, but those jitters are no reason to skip the experience altogether. The biggest reason many try skydiving for the first time is to overcome a fear.
Skydiving makes many feel invincible, like they can do anything in the world after dropping from the clouds. Experience the ultimate freedom of freefall and leave feeling like a champion of the sky. This instructor had to go through some vigorous training and receive special certificates to freefall with other strapped to their chest.
During your first jump, your tandem instructor will literally be pulling the steering toggles, ensuring that your canopy opens properly and that you land safely. Let us remind you that this tandem instructor is a professional who has made hundreds if not thousands of freefalls with hundreds or thousands of people. The wind resistance from your freefall speed feels like pressure. Not painful, but instead like you are being supported but can also move your arms and legs.
Next time you're riding in a car on the highway, stick your hand out the window, thumb facing forward - then turn your hand with your palm facing forward - feel the difference in pressure. That's what we're talking about.
Most people describe skydiving with emotions. Simply because with all the sensory information they are trying to process, it's easier to revert to an emotional response. You'll hear a lot of answers like this because it's a powerful experience. For most, a fear has been conquered or a lifelong wish has been granted. That's big! Some people even relate the feeling to sex. Yes, really. And for many people it is a very real comparison. We have seen more than a few tandem students experience an "air-gasm" after the parachute opens.
There's no shame in that response, it's probably not your instructor's first time. Many people believe skydiving will feel like things they dislike - which is why they ask before they go. The most common fear is "the stomach drop" sensation found on roller coasters or fast spins. Guess what - there is no stomach drop in skydiving! After you skydive you feel like you can do anything.

Schedule Your Skydive Now. There is some science behind the sensation of skydiving, predominantly in the form of adrenaline. Adrenaline is what our body produces when we are in a situation of danger — the fight or flight phenomenon where our bodies become primed to act. Adrenaline is a neurotransmitter and hormone which is quickly sent through your body in times of high excitement. It delivers signals to your blood vessels to send blood pumping to your important organs such as your heart and lungs, making you feel really alert and numbing your ability to feel pain.
Adrenaline is known to produce improved strength and performance, as well as heightened senses. Your body also releases endorphins and serotonin during the skydive, known to make you feel happier.
Skydiving is, technically speaking, the action of falling through the air at speeds of around mph. What may surprise you, however, is the feeling of slowness and serenity you get during freefall and under your parachute.
Skydiving is a challenge, and continues to be so throughout your jumping career. Skydiving is also a competitive sport, so many fun jumpers, and professional jumpers, enter competitions with their teams in order to pit their skills against their peers. Another aspect of skydiving that you may not have considered is the community around it. We welcome first timers and experienced skydivers here at Chattanooga Skydiving Company.
