WHY DO PEOPLE SKYDIVE?

• Thousands of people make their first jumps
  every year here in the US. Many of those people
  choose to take up skydiving as an ongoing hobby.
  But what is it that makes skydiving so addictive?

Youve sat in a perfectly good airplane,
enjoying the views and taking in the

• experience. For some people, this would be
  enough. So why do so many people decide to jump
  out of a plane, falling at speeds of around
  120mph toward the earth before deploying a
  parachute and floating back down to where they
  started?
• When put that way, it sounds crazy, right?
  Youre jumping out of a perfectly functional
  plane with nothing to save you but a few dozen
  square feet of material.
• Many first time jumpers do it for the
  experience,

• as a one off. Some do it to celebrate a
  birthday, others to raise money for charity. Some
  people are adrenaline junkies seeking their
  next fix. Others are simply intrigued to know
  what it feels like to fall and to fly.
• What many first time jumpers dont realize is
  that skydiving is so much more than jumping from
  a plane. Its an experience like no other,
  comprising great friendships, epic trust and some
  of the most incredible sensations your body will
  ever feel!

  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.
