Summer Times: Skydive Moab
Some people take that leap of faith for the thrill, others to check it off the bucket list, and some do it to just fell alive again. No matter what the reason, one thing is for sure this adventure isn’t for the faint of heart.

MOAB, Utah (KKCO) - Some people take that leap of faith for the thrill, others to check it off the bucket list, and some do it to just fell alive again. No matter what the reason, one thing is for sure this adventure isn’t for the faint of heart.

Skydive Moab wants you to test your courage, in a high flying adventure.

You start out by signing waivers, watching videos and getting geared up. Then a short training lesson, right before you climb into the plane. It’s a nerve-racking 20-minute ride up to 10,000 feet. Then it’s time! Wind blasts in to the plane as they open the door.

It’s a heart-pumping slide to the edge of the door. Then it’s time to put your feet on the jumping platform.

At this point, there’s nothing left to do but jump and that is exactly what you do. There’s no way to explain what it’s like to free fall at 120 mph. It’s just one of though things you have to do to understand the feeling.

After the parachute opens, it’s about a two to three minute ride down. Once your feet finally hit the ground the trill is over, but your mind is still racing.

It’s an adventure like no other. If you are interested in going, check out the link below for more information under Related Links.
