WHAT HAPPENS, MINUTE BY MINUTE

1

Briefing at the school

30 min

Sign documents and self-declare health status. Body position explanation, instructor signals, what happens at exit.

2

Plane ride up

20–30 min

Climb to jump altitude (in Italy typically 3,000–4,000 m). A breathtaking landscape unfolds below you. The instructor hooks you to his harness in the final minutes.

3

Freefall

40–60 sec

Speed ~200 km/h. At 4,000 m you get about one minute of freefall. The instructor keeps stable attitude, you're free to scream, enjoy, thumbs-up for the optional videographer.

4

Canopy descent

5–7 min

After deployment, silence. You can fly the canopy (instructor hands over controls), enjoy the landscape, do some turns and savor the view.

5

The instructor handles landing (standing or slide, very safe). Then memory photo and return to the club for the "baptism certificate".
