Would you jump out of a plane 12,500 feet above the ground? We sent a Refiner29 staffer to test it out.

00:00Hey guys, I'm Sarah and I am going to be jumping out of a plane tomorrow.
00:07Oh my god, I'm so scared.
00:09I'm going to turn 30 in less than six months.
00:13The one thing that I really wanted to get done before I hit that 3-0
00:17is jumping out of a plane and landing with my two feet on the ground.
00:22I'm going to do it for my brother, who is going with me, and I'm going to do it for
00:26myself.
00:26I'm gonna jump out of a plane tomorrow. Yeah, gonna do it.
00:32I have heard for the last week how safe it is.
00:34More people get run over by a bicycle in New York City.
00:39If I can jump out of a plane, I can do anything.
00:44I'm so scared. That's real.
00:49Hey guys, I'm here at the airstrip. I'm about to get ready.
00:54I can see behind me there's some people falling.
00:57Seeing the people fall from the sky and land safely actually helped me to relieve some of my nerves.
01:04They look like they're having fun and not dying.
01:08And then the paperwork came. That was frightening.
01:11Signing your life away, saying, I understand that I could die.
01:15This is gonna be my last pre-pre-jump video.
01:21Woo!
01:21How are you doing today?
01:22Love it. Scared. A little scared, but I'm down.
01:24I just forgot to tell you. I'm really afraid of heights.
01:27Are you ready?
01:29Let's do it!
01:31Woo!
01:32The guy who is gonna be my tandem instructor, he is very silly right off the bat.
01:36He says, there's three rules for you. Smile, have fun, and don't tickle me.
01:43I'm thinking, like, who is this guy? What is happening?
01:50He's just saying, just relax.
01:53And I'm like, we are 10,000 feet, dude.
01:56I don't know how you're doing it, but I am not relaxed.
01:59I'm okay. It's great. I'm in it. I'm in it. We're in it. We're in it. We're excited.
02:03I can't get the smile off my face.
02:05The moment finally arrived. The door opened.
02:09Let's go, let's go.

02:55Welcome to the V hookup.
03:01That moment was so fast and absolutely exhilarating and really like nothing I
03:11could have ever imagined it being. People say that you can't tell that you're
03:15falling. I could tell that I was falling.
03:34This was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. I went two days
03:39ago and I'm still smiling like I just landed. I'm already planning my next trip
03:45because I'm a skydiver now. It's gonna change your life. It's gonna make you
03:49feel like a whole new person. Get out there. Take that dive.
