@@connorcarroll7677 this is what it feels like then for those that have died in airplane crashes. Of course if they remained conscious during the accident and fall which is unlikely. I havent done it but you then know what it feels like to fall like that. Some skydivers too couldnt open their parachutes and fell to their deaths. Now they would probably remain conscious all the way down. However many say that those that have been blown out in mid air break ups likely did not even have enough time to understand whats going on before going unconscious
@@dreamthedream8929 One fatal accident in about 150 thousand jumps, mostly caused by using a high performance canopy. The only reason you heard about them regularly is the number of civilian jumps all over the world: close to 10M per year.
@Safa Aslan And you know what being on a commercial aircraft is like? Basically its like that taking a risk, Also, imagine a boat ride. Also, driving your car. Its actually more deadly then a rollercoaster. All of those are.
I took a bunch of 12 year olds jumping is Australia. I love how much they don't understand death. Sticking her tongue out and so present in the moment. I love this video.
@@Bajue Im late but as long as the child's parents / guardian sign off on all the forms its legal. But, without parents you need to be 18 (at least in the U.S. that I know of).
*Kid comes back to school on Monday* Teacher: what did you do over the weekend Kid: I went skydiving Other kids in class: sure Teacher: You mean pretend to go skydiving? **shows video** Everyone: 👁👄👁
Well, she couldn’t show the video because they are not allowed to bring tablets or phones or something like that to school but she took her certificate and some photo’s. For the rest it did go something like that :-)
DO IT!! I just did Friday for my 22nd birthday and it was AMAZING! The only scary part is when you see other people jumping out and sitting on the edge of the plane, looking down on the clouds. (Well for me) Then after you just feel air pushing at you, kinda like the indoor ones, it’s so thrilling your just looking at the view getting clearer and clearer. The parachute is such a calming experience too. I can’t wait to go back in the summer. Go ahead and JUMP!😂🪂
@@peaceking8652 is some places you only have to be 16, I’m in the uk and turned 16 about a month ago and as soon as I turned I went skydiving. I loved it so much I’m gonna do my AFF. I’m doing my ground training tomorrow and I’m very exited :)
I don't know if you will see this post or understand what i am saying Anna..... I did a tandem skydive in my 30's, and i was scared up until i left the plain. After which it was an amazing feeling of freedom and one of the best experiences of my life. Something i would not have experienced had i not pushed through the fear. But i certainly would not have been brave enough at 7yrs old, WOW!!! You are an amazing girl. I hope you continue to take this level bravery into the world as you grow, if you do you wil achieve what ever your heart desires. Well done you're an inspiration to many.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. Anna doesn’t understand English but I will translate it for her when she comes home from school today. I am sure she will be very honoured by your kind words! Thank You!
@@annavds217 She deserve them. I have a lot of admiration for her bravery, i wish i was half as brave as her. She is going to do great things in her life i am sure.
@@TKTrooper I translated your comment for her and she was upset she couldn’t speak English so she could Thank you herself! You made my daughter’s day and therefore you made mine. Thanks again. I am sure she will do great things too but then again I might be a little biased :-)
Sweetheart you're doing an awesome job, just act like you're a angel falling from the sky of heaven, don't be scared of heights, don't be frightened, don't panic or none of that you're doing great keep it up 😊👍🙌👏👏👏👏
Cool video! I know she was with her dad or the skydiving trainer, but she's still very brave. I believe I have the courage to do bungee jumping, but not skydiving, and I'm 32.
@@bracebrooks967 Here in the States, around $250 for the jump itself, and then you factor in photo/video packages, which run around $150 for the good ones. It also depends on where you're located/where you jump. But DEFINITELY worth every penny!
@@amypalooza6934 Wow that's alot of money, but it's good you were able to afford and experience that. I can afford that amount if I wanted to do sky-diving, but prefer to spend a big amount of money on something that will last a long time for me. Sky-diving, as exciting as it looks, would be too short of an experience.
@@bracebrooks967 Believe me when I say, the jump itself is only so many minutes, but what you also get for that price is a memory that will last a lifetime! Plus, bragging rights! How many people do you know would have the guts to do it? YOU do, and that's awesome! I hope someday you'll get to do it. Both of my videos are on my page if you want to check them out.
Hi, yes it does. Some people don’t seem to be bothered by it. Anna’s ears however always hurt a lot, sometimes more then one hour after the jump they still hurt. In fact she says that is the only down side, well that and the fact she always gets very cold hands. But her ears always hurt when we fly a plane somewhere on vacation too and other people (like me) sitting next to her only feel a slight discomfort so I think it depends from person to person how sensitive you are. If that is the only thing holding you back, I would say go for it. Anna still thinks it is worth it, even with the pain.
@@annavds217 She tried equalising her ears? by pinching her nose and blowing gently through it. I somehow couldn't do it when I was a kid, but it has gotten better when I got older.
@@annavds217 Hi, I speak from experience as I make a suggestion for Anna. When I was her age, I have always feared flying on planes due to getting pain in my ears from the air pressure. As I grew older, that became nonexistent. Typically, I think this mostly happens with younger people like Anna, and as they grow older, it stops. For now, my suggestion for Anna, if possible, is to chew on gum. At her age, I always used to bring gum with me on the plane. Chewing gum constantly doesn't stop the pain, but it destresses. If Anna (and you) are comfortable with this method, go for gum that she'd feel comfortable chewing on for some time. As she grows older, she won't experience ear pain again.
Hi, Thanks for watching! This is in the Netherlands. We didn’t want to wait, in our country (Belgium) you have to be 12. In the Netherlands you only had to be 5 years old, fortunately they are our neighbours so it wasn’t a big trip for us.
Anna asked me (her mom) to say thank you. She doesn’t speak English yet but I try to translate for her. I think it was more that she didn’t have that much fear yet back then, she is ten now and still goes skydiving (both indoor and outdoor) but is starting to develop fears for other things that didn’t used to bother her, like being on a stage or speeding in front of people. Probably got to do with age. I hope it will go away again.
Yep, she is, my poor mommy heart, between this the indoor skydiving, BMX, vaulting, trampoline, climbing and tumbling I don’t know how I survived this long:-)
@@skeni565 I hope she doesn’t feel that way. She never knew her dad so I hope she doesn’t feel sad about it, she never told me she missed a dad. She has a lot of other great people in her life!
Euhm, I am pretty sure every kid needs an adult to jump with them. Even in country’s that allow kids to jump that is always only if they are with an adult, youngest you can go solo jumping seems to be 16 because that is the minimum age to follow the course that teaches you to jump alone. Maybe in your country you can take a solo jump sooner but that seems unlikely because you have to have certain skills like folding your parachute and such that are highly unlikely for a small child to be able to do.
