  1. FEELING NERVOUS ABOUT SKYDIVING? HERE’S WHAT TO DO

  2. Make no mistake about it: Skydiving is a BFD. Quite literally, it’s the biggest leap of faith you’ll ever make–so it’s perfectly natural to feel a little freaked-out. If you’ve made your reservation and are squaring up for a jump, you’re probably combing the internet looking for some solid tips to overcome your fear of skydiving. • Never fear! We’re here for you. We’ve taken the time to put together a thorough guide to help you get through it–and get the most out of your jump, to boot. Here’s the beta:

  3. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU’RE NERVOUS BEFORE YOUR SKYDIVE • From the moment you decide you’re going to go for that skydive, your imagination will be working overtime. Your skull will be rattling with all of the possibilities–which is a tricksy thing, because it’s impossible to know what to expect. There’s a lot of information out there, lots of which is pretty misleading, and you’ve never done anything like this before. Brand-new experiences–it goes without saying–are inherently scary.

  4. Here are a couple good preparatory steps you can take in the run-up to your jump-out: • Watch videos and look at photos of skydives at the dropzone you’re planning to visit. This way, you’ll know more about what to expect–from the plane you’ll be in to the people you’ll be surrounded by to the landscape you’ll be jumping over.

  5. Avoid watching “scare” videos on the internet. They’ve been designed to attract your click at all costs and, essentially, make money from the fear you’re trying to slay. Statistically speaking, they’re utterly insignificant–and you know that watching them won’t do you any good. So leave ’em! • Visit the dropzone ahead of your jump. You’ll get a feel for the atmosphere and you’ll meet some new friends. Bonus: You can ask just-landed jumpers what their experience was like and get the info straight from the horse’s mouth.

  6. Treat your jump like an athletic event. Get eight hours of sleep. Eat healthfully and moderately. Don’t show up with a hangover. Warm up and stretch before your jump. Stay hydrated. It all seems like simple, common-sense stuff–but a lot of people don’t bother. We say: You already know how, so take the initiative and optimize your own experience! • To read other steps click here: https://www.chattanoogaskydivingcompany.com/blog/feeling-nervous-about-skydiving-heres-what-to-do/
