Sinsull I'm in England, even with the brief instructions and being strapped to the instructor doesn't make you feel any different aboouut going out of the perfectly good plane 12,000 ft, next one 15,000 ft, then hopefully the training, max you can jump static line is 5,000ft.It didn't cure my absolute fear of heights though, still you only get one life, so enjoy to the fullest is my motto
