Imagine.you've just been fitted into a full-body jumpsuit and strapped yourself to another person wearing the same. You're assisted into a small plane and before you can stop yourself from thinking-I can't do this-I want to turn back and get of here-the plane takes off. Six of you squished together into the smallest area imaginable as the plane's engine grows louder and begins to climb higher and higher, up over the snow-capped mountains and crystal clear lakes below. The ground becomes further and further away, and every few minutes the pilot announces "Okwe've just reached 7,000 feet..ok, we're at 9, 000 feet10, 000 feet..and then finallywe're at 12,000 feet..get ready to go."
What I've just described to you is the beginning of my first experience skydiving..
