Special Moments During Skydiving

No Limits Skydiving has been a part of many special skydives. We have been a part of wedding proposals, military re-enlistments, and even spreading the ashes of a loved one. We really enjoy being a part of moments like these in peoples lives and helping them make their skydive even more special. With wedding proposals the couple will be in the plane with the person doing the asking jumping first. Their significant other will leave the airplane a minute or two later. This gives the person doing the asking time to land and place a large banner on the ground asking "Will you marry me?" It makes for a great video when flying under parachute the person is able to read the banner. Their reaction is priceless. So far everyone asked has said yes! We have been a part of a few military re-enlistments. The owner of No Limits Skydiving is ex-military so he really enjoys these. We had two brothers…

Does Skydiving Feel like a Roller Coaster?

This is another one of those questions I have been asked a hundred times. The very simple answer is NO! You do not get that roller coaster effect when skydiving. Only a Zero G Dives can cause that feeling in your stomach. Zero G is that slight pause where you go from climbing up to all of a sudden accelerating downward. With jumping from a perfectly good airplane there really is no pause. The plane is flying forward at approximately 100 mph when we make that leap. Since the plane is moving forward at such a fast rate you really don't even start falling straight down at first. When a Tandem Pair leaves the plane you actually take around 10 seconds before you reach terminal velocity. In 25 years of skydiving I have listened to people who are thinking of making a skydive that they do not like that queasy feeling they receive from a roller coaster. This is one…

There has not been a report of Mr Eustace seeing any aliens while in free fall. Approximately 500,000 people make a skydive each year.
