After they putted us on our suit, we walked to the small airplane and we were off!
After a 15 minute flight and a lot of fun, we were at the point where we would jump out of the plane. With Mick, I was the third and last passenger who would jump out of the plane, we moved to the edge of the plane and I saw the earth far and far away beneath us. This was pretty scary but also really exciting.
There was no way back, Mick pushed me out of the plane and a weird feeling came over me. For the first 5 seconds I had a feeling which I never felt before, I can’t subscribe it. To say, it is like driving your car over a small hill, that feeling times million! It is chaos, you don’t realize what is happening and there are now thoughts.
After those 5 seconds the 75 seconds free fall remains, this is something I’ll never forget, factual, you’re falling down as a rock with the speed of 200 kilometers the hour, but that’s not what you feel and think, those 70 seconds you can’t believe what is happening and you actually feel that you are flying, that moment is the best moment I had in my life so far. The only thing I did was screaming, acting crazy and laughing.
After those crazy 75 seconds Mick opened the parachute and we slowed down, after that, the peaceful time starts. Still you can’t realize what the last 75 seconds happened, the only thing you feel is a soft breeze, peace love and happiness of a level I never felt so intense before.
After we landed on the ground I was shaking and still couldn’t believe that I just jumped out of a plane at 16.500 feet above the ground.
I can tell, skydiving is the best thing I ever did. I want to thanks Skydive Auckland for this wonderful experience which I recommend everyone to pass through!
