In the rámce of his teambuilding, my colleague Jakub and I tried out tandem parachute jump. The other Adrop srabís stayed firmly on the ground and waited for us to unravel.
Heart in your pants
I took my first fallá jump from an airplane at Prábrami Airport. I was fine the whole car ride, too fine according to mých colleagues. But I admit that after the ride to the airport, my stomach started to churn a bit at the sight of little panás falling from the sky. Do I have to fly from 4 km away too?
Thešdoughí atmosphereé on thešti flight is soú amazedá that even the fear started to leave me. I have plenty of time to look around the flight and prepare myself for what is to come.

And here it is... I'm on it!
The guy who will be in charge of me is called Jirka. First up is a largeékání specialální combinations. Then a moment of theory what and how to actually do and not to do in the air. It's just a pár of sentences until the mráz is out of breath. As Jirka said: “Vše is up to me, you just enjoy it up there and have fun.” Here it stámoves and here it stámoves, dressed, done. After a short wait, the plane is ready. With the roar of the engine, we board the plane with a bunch of other pro's and adrenaline junkies like me.
Up to 4km!
20 minutes of waitání, excitement´ and specialáštnífeelings. After a perhaps endlessly longéní climb to 4 km above the groundí it's here. Jirka strapped me to his stomach. 4 clicks and that's it. Yes, four clicks and it's on! Jirka was reassuring me: “Are you afraid&/strong> Don't worry, we'll jump anyway, no one is going back down the plane.
1,...2,...3...
It's clear that this is it. One, two, three, we're on the edge and suddenly, where there's nothing here, just a far country. It happened so fast, I barely had time to blink. Suddenly I'm screaming and flying. It's an incredible feeling…
Youít have to experience it for yourself. Fly incredibly fast, hear the pressure and the roar, and fall and fall into the unknown.
In a word "WOW".
Now comes a tapání on the shoulder – meaningí vše ok. And after a moment šcub. The longest í and one of the best í minutes of my é life. What it's like to fly up to 200 km in free flight is beyond description. Once the pad is open, it's your turn to enjoy the scenery. Emotions run high and you want to go again. After less than 10 minutes of a snowy flight with a bird's eye view, it's really worth it, I'm just waiting for an absolutely comfortable landing on the ground. One doesn't even want to get upá howá pará it was, energy and adrenaline flowingá through my wholeý body.
If you havenšt experienced this, you havenát experienced the adrenaline rush. For a stáhnuté half this ofágratification for a lifetime, it standsá. Go for it! Choose any of our tandem jumps and jump in headfirst!
And if you're scaredíte, how about having aít with a bunch of kámošers in rámci someé action, like a freedom ride, huh?
