im just waiting for my sister to come over to the UAE within a month and we're gonna try it together

**mr_j** · 10-31-2011

it is one of the things I want to try in my life. but so far I have been too scared to consider it soon... I don't want it to be the last thing I try

don't they have a special course for how to do it and what to do in case a parachute fails etc...?

You can't do skydiving alone unless you become a professional. They will allow you to skydive only with professional, you bond together and do it together, the sky jump of course. Lots of my friends did it in the summer in America and uae, its pretty expensive too can go up to around 500$.

in the UAE it's not that much expensive (not 500$) i received last week an sms from Lebanon saying that it's for 500$ without any picture!

btw zow, outside Lebanon, you can find schools for skydiving

As far as i know, you have a backup parachute for such cases.
If the second one fails too, then you should suicide if you land alive :P

**mr_j** · 10-31-2011

I know there is a backup parachute. but you need to know what to pull, what to do, what not to do, what is the correct speed and altitude etc... fi alef chaghlé to learn

I never tried it but I tried Bungee-jumping and it is great, I know it is NOTHING comparing to skydiving but i would reallyyyy wanna try it, too bad it is extremely expensive in Lebanon

IM@D · 10-31-2011

340 euro + 50$ (for pictures) + 100 $ (for video)
