When you arrive at the drop zone you will be equipped with a jumpsuit, soft helmet, goggles and a harness. This will connect you to your instructors equipment prior to jumping. After being double-checked you will be led to the airplane and seat belted in ready for take off.

As the plane rolls down the runway and lifts off you can have pride in yourself that you have made a commitment to face a challenge and embark on one of life's truly special experiences. While you enjoy the beautiful views of Mount Charleston, Red Rock Canyon and the Las Vegas Strip the pilot will be guiding the plane to the jump altitude over 2 miles above the earth. As jump time approaches your instructor will give you one final check and then via 4 attachment points secure you to his equipment (each upper attachment is capable of holding 5000 lbs).

When the door finally opens and you exit the aircraft most students say their fears stay in the plane and the feeling they are left with they describe only as indescribable! For over 45 seconds falling at speeds in excess of 120 MPH you will finally understand why the birds sing! All too quickly you will find the parachute opening and your adrenaline charged free-fall transitions into a quite peaceful parachute decent. During the 5-7 minutes it takes to reach the ground your instructor can provide either a sedate gentle ride to the ground or a more radical roller coaster experience demonstrating spins and stalls as he skillfully takes you to the landing area.

• Thanks to the nature of the tandem skydive, the formal training required can be kept to a minimum as your personal tandem master will control the free-fall and the parachute decent. However there is some information and rules that you need to be familiar with to help with the safe outcome of the jump. By educating you as what to expect in the airplane, how to hold your body during free-fall and what to expect when the parachute opens your fears can be eased and your fun maximized.
