My first jump.
Nobody is born a skydiver. Everyone who falls out of the sky for fun today once stood at an open aircraft door thinking exactly what you're thinking now. This page walks you from that spot to a jump — no padding.
Can I jump?
Two numeric conditions, that's all. No medical exams, no licence, no experience — the instructor covers the rest.
Health-wise: mainly heart conditions, blood pressure and fresh injuries disqualify. Doubts are settled by a doctor, not a form.
How the day goes
You arrive, you sign, you get a dozen minutes of briefing — and then it gets genuinely interesting.
- Paperwork and briefingAn ID, a signature and a short briefing: how to hold your body on exit and on landing.
- The climbHarness on, board the plane — a dozen or so minutes up to 4,000 metres, with all of Pomerania below.
- FreefallExit and around 60 seconds of falling at up to 200 km/h. The instructor handles everything.
- Canopy and landingA few quiet minutes under the parachute and a landing back at the dropzone.
Those seven minutes
The whole jump on one chart. The minute you'll talk about forever is the steep part.
- 4000 mExitDoor up. The three seconds you'll remember longest.
- 4000 → 1500 mFreefall~60 seconds at up to 200 km/h. Screaming is free.
- 1500 mOpeningA tug, then silence. Suddenly you hear wind and your own laughter.
- 1500 → 0 mCanopy rideA few minutes gliding over Pomerania, steering together with the instructor.
What to expect
Honestly — fear likes specifics.
Will I be scared?
Yes. Peak fear runs from harness to door. It lasts about three seconds past the exit — then the brain gives up and pure awe takes over. The best-documented three seconds in skydiving.
Can you breathe at 200 km/h?
You can. The airflow pushes air in, it doesn't take it away. If you're worrying about it on the plane — just scream on exit, that sorts breathing automatically.
Is it cold?
It's ~25°C colder at 4000 m than on the ground. A minute of freefall is too short to get cold — dress sporty, we provide the rest.
What if I chicken out?
The instructor won't push you against your will — but nobody who made it to the dropzone has ever regretted jumping. The regrets belong to the people who kept postponing.
Which jump is yours
The jump is the same. The difference: who gets to see it.
And if you already suspect one jump won't be enough — there's the AFF course, after which you jump solo. See the AFF course →
