FULL THROTTLE. It was an amazing experience. I was taken up in a
aircraft to a height of 10,000 ft before jumping off. It involves the
free fall for 20 seconds at a speed of 200 KMs per hour and later 8
minutes on the parachute, before landing. Maneuvering
the parachute was the best part. Going in big circles, changing
directions, the cold air hitting ur face, etc, were some unforgettable
experiences.It just can't be explained in words.
The place where I did it was a beautiful country side of the bay area.
There were all kinds of nature forms: grasslands, mountains, rives,
lakes. It looks lovely from the top.
People say that I am crazy, so am I. But is an experience for a lifetime. You have to do it atleast once in your life.
