Frequently Asked Questions about Skydiving:
Q. Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?
A. Really? Because it’s fun!
Q. What should I wear?
A. Nothing. Skydivers have been known to wear nothing during their skydives, but you might want to wear shorts, sneakers, and a T-shirt… or nothing… your call 😉
Q. Is skydiving safe?
A. No. Well, actually… YES! Skydiving is like any other extreme sport; there are inherent risks that require careful training and execution. Failure to follow that training can lead to severe injury or death. Skydiving is as safe as the individual(s) make it and can be as safe as or safer than any other extreme sport… Hey, you are going on a Godspeed Adventure Tour in Hawaii and because there are risks; that’s what makes it exciting! Stop thinking about that and just jump!
Q. Can I jump by myself?
A. Sure, but not today. Your first jump must be tandem, in which you're harnessed to the front of an instructor. If you like what you experience, then come back and get certified to jump by yourself very soon.
Q. What will the skydive feel like?
A. Some say it’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on! The sensation of free-fall is more like flying than falling and is intensely exciting. The canopy flight is peaceful and relaxing…
Q. How fast do you fall?
A. The average human body falls approximately 125 miles per hour (terminal velocity). If you are good looking you will likely fall much faster.
Q. What's the landing like?
A. Most landings are quite soft, with almost every person doing stand-up landings. Sometimes, especially on calm days, the forward speed of the parachute will provide you with a smooth sit-down, sliding landing. If you want to “spice” things up a bit, we could divert the landing portion of your skydive to the ocean, dropping directly into the shark-cage; doubling your adventurous pleasure!
Q. What happens if the parachute doesn't open?
A. Pray. If that doesn't work, pray harder! Although it is unlikely that your main parachute will fail to open properly, by federal law every jumper must be equipped with a main and a reserve parachute. In addition, all equipment has an Automated Activation Device (AAD), which will automatically open the reserve parachute should the jumpers be unable to.
Q. Robert, will you teach me to base-jump from my hotel room?
A. Yes.
Enough questions.... LET'S JUMP!!!
