I watched this mostly because I was interested in the footage of the
tandem jump.  Have any jumpers reading this done a tandem jump?
I am considering doing so; I am a sailplane pilot and I always wear
an emergency chute, but I've never jumped and think it would be a
good idea to experience a jump in case I ever have to do so for real.
I've been hesitant till now because I didn't think a static line jump
would be as useful as doing a free fall and pulling a ripcord.
(Okay, I've also been hesitant becuase the idea of jumping out of an
perfectly good airplane scares the heck out of me!)  However, I'd
recently heard of the tandem jump and it sounds like an ideal way to
experience the sensations while being attached to someone who knows
what they're doing.  So, have you tried it?  Know where I can try in
the NJ-eastern PA area?  Please e-mail to the path below.  Thanks!
