The Moment of the Leap
Having reached the altitude of approximately 4,000 meters ,the plane opens the door.
Your heart races, adrenaline floods your body, and with a deep breath, you leap into the void. The initial feeling is one of pure excitement. a mix of fear and excitement as you walk through the door into the unknown.
It was the best, most adrenaline-filled experience of my entire life. The instructors and videographers are fantastic! They make you feel incredibly confident, with zero fear, and a strong desire to jump and, above all, repeat the experience. I recommend it to everyone!!! Jump done with the Skydiving Academy.
The Free Fall
In free fall, speeds of around 200 km/h are reached.
Contrary to what you might think, you don't feel like you're falling into the void. Breathing occurs normally, and the air flowing over the face amplifies the perception of speed and movement.
Many describe this phase as “floating” on a cushion of air, a sensation of suspension and absolute freedom.
The Opening of the Parachute
After about 60 seconds of pure adrenaline in free fall, comes one of the most iconic moments of the launch: the opening of the parachuteThis gesture transforms the entire experience. You feel a distinct slowing down, as if time were slowing down along with the speed. The intense rustle of the wind that accompanies freefall fades, giving way to an almost magical silence, interrupted only by the faint hiss of the parachute opening.
You will be able to breathe normally throughout the launch!
At this stage, the dominant sensation changes:
from the explosion of emotions of free fall, we move on to a contemplative calm.
The bird's-eye view offers a breathtaking view, sweeping across distant horizons and landscapes that seem hand-drawn. Whether you're flying over cities, mountains, or expanses of countryside, every detail appears incredibly sharp and vivid.
This moment also offers the opportunity to interact with the instructor. In many cases, they'll explain how to maneuver the parachute, allowing you to feel direct control over the flight. It's an experience that combines the thrill of flight with the awareness of being suspended in perfect balance between sky and earth.
Open Gliding
After the intense adrenaline rush of freefall, parachute flying represents a transition to a feeling of peace and lightness.
This phase lasts about 5-7 minutes, a time during which the world seems to slow down, allowing you to fully enjoy the view and the tranquility of the moment.
It's the perfect opportunity to observe the landscape from a unique perspective: the land unfolds like a detailed map, with rivers, fields, and cities stretching to the horizon. The silence that accompanies the flight, interrupted only by the rustle of the parachute, amplifies the sense of connection with the surrounding environment.
During the flight, the instructor not only ensures safety but also makes the experience interactive and engaging. In many cases, they offer the opportunity to take control of the parachute, allowing you to experiment with simple maneuvers like turns or changes of direction. This active participation increases the sense of control and makes the moment even more memorable.
For those seeking not only an adrenaline rush but also an experience that combines contemplation and adventure, parachute flying is the perfect culmination.
