It prevents/prohibits you form doing this specific activity, or it declares that your policy is null and void if you go?

But would that mean null and void IN GENERAL/absolute terms, your policy would be cancelled with them in the future, or just that if you died, you'd not be covered for skydiving?

Bc if you can still retain your policy afterwards, the situation's similar to any other person here that jumps who doesn't have life insurance in the first place (which I'll assume is most that are jumping)

... unless you deemed it not worth the experience (risk) of jumping bc a beneficary you specified would receive nothing, while another isn't concerned about such a circumstance.

nice

I was thinking about it...got a bday in start of July so thats when i was thinking of going. my best friend volunteered to push me out (and thats it) and noone else wants to come along due to reasons such as shitless scared of heights in general..

so *possibly*

If its ur first time, i suggest not having them shoot a video as i believe it takes away from the experience. ur always looking at the cameraman and not seeing urself shooting down at 200km an hour.

I dont know what it is, but I actually didnt get the rush I was expecting when I did it the first time. Of course, jumping solo was a whole other story.

according to my experience in American skydiving ... you must first qualify from a 6 hour class for skydiving where you learn the basics and what to do when things go wrong and stuff of that sort. only after that you are allowed to go in the plane. your first jump HAS TO BE with a instructor and then if you still got your shit togather your second jump is solo in which your chute will automatically be deployed when you exit the plane so freefall is very short (canadian rules may be different). you will barely even feel the free fall.

make sure you have strong shoulders cuz the pull of the chute is of much force and if u dont pay attention it can hurt you. wind and weather also play a mjor role in this but thats all last minute decisions. i must warn you tho that once your feet touch the ground you will have trouble walking for first minute or so lolz. thats the most fun part of watching newbies hahahaha

but yeah if i am in town and stuff and work permits i am down with this. i will also find out if i can get my canadian instructor permit as i already have american permit and what sort of discount group rates i may be eligible for.. and then all ya kiddies can hold my hand and jump lolz total cost back in days when i started jumping including class hours and stuff was $350 american dollars.

Let's bring the change!!!

Tip: when jumping out of the plane, make sure sure you're wearing the chute and not your school backpack!

Originally posted by iLLnaDa solo or not ...im going I think solo may actually work out better bc its u against ..ummmmm well everything lol

the chute is automatically activated for you once you you exit the plane, not sure if its right after, or they wait a tiny bit. then your in the air for like 5 minutes, with instructions on steering your chute from an instructor using ground-air radio. after such time you will be directed to land.

no way they will let you pull it the very first time, theres gotta be some sort of law against that I'd think lol. if the person gets all super scared or something, they might screw something up, pull the chute, then the reserve after or something, who knows lol
