Tandem Skydiving in Yorkshire
Overview
Experience the utter thrill of tandem skydiving, beginning with training before being fitted into a harness and jumpsuit. Once securely attached to the instructor, take off in the plane and climb to around 10,000 feet. The climb takes around 20 minutes, plenty of time to relax and enjoy the scenery - if your nerves will allow! Then, once at altitude, it's time to jump. Feel the rush as you freefall at speeds of up 120 mph, covering 5,000 feet in around 30 seconds. Then, the instructor opens the parachute and you'll spend a few minutes floating gently back to earth. If the conditions allow, you can even steer the parachute for a while, before your instructor takes over for the landing. Adrenaline rushes really do not come much better than this.
