Worried, Windy, Then Wieghtless

How to get ready for something you’ve never even attempted to do before.

1. Get the proper equipment on.
(Such as a harness, a jumpsuit, and a nice and not hard helmet.)

2. Get paired up with someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
(An instructor.)

3. Board the tiniest plane you’ve ever seen.
(That works.)

4. Get 12,000 feet away from where you feel safe.

5. Watch your sister do what you’re dreading.

6. And then jump out of a plane.

And then finally, you’re experiencing what you’ve been waiting for. Your forty-five seconds of free fall.

Read my next piece, The Feeling of Flying to learn the scariest things about free fall.
