Throwing yourself out of a plane at 10,000 feet might be considered utter madness.:)
But if close friends start wondering aloud about your sanity (or the contents of your will), you can reassure them that you will be attached (literally) to an expert instructor and that, frankly, you're in for an experience so exhilarating that you will probably never stop talking about it. Book... Tandem Skydive
Your experience begins with around an hour of instruction on skydiving and landing techniques, before you go up in the plane. You will be securely harnessed to your instructor, who will help you jump from the plane (or at least help you fall with style).
You will get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so completely incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Then your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and try to come to terms with the adrenaline rush. Mind blowing. :)
