Did it like 10 years ago. Make sure you pay extra to have it filmed. You won't really feel like you're falling until you see the cameraman falling in front of you. :doood:

Yeah. All the sudden, they're gone.

When the chute opens, it might tug on your back a little more than you'd want it to, if you have back issues.
