Wife & I wanted to go skydive after discussion precipitated by this vid. $500? I had no idea. Spendy ESP since my horn button needs the Shelby treatment.
Funny thing is stuff like this vid brings people out of the woodwork wanting to jump. Makes it seem more "dangerous" than it actually is.
Actually when you think about all that is involved with a skydive, $10,000 parachute system and maintenance....airplane and proper maintenance.....fuel....staff....etc....prices have stayed pretty reasonable for a long time. Do realize that of the price you were quoted for you and your wife only $25 of that goes to the JM?? Instructors jump for the love not money.
