Parachute jump

Vladimir on March 16th, 2008

When they find out I’ve jumped from 4,000 meters a lot of people asks me how was it. I always tell them it is something that can not be described.

I have entire video footage of the event and I decided to put it online. The happening took place in Austria, courtesy of mr. Kapl who is an experienced jumper. I was there on a trip with three friends and eventually he convinced us it’s something we should not miss. We opted for tandem jump in which you jump attached to an instructor. It is the safest and quickest way to fly.

All four of us jumped and I was the first.. Watch how it happened.
