Should I Go Skydiving Quiz

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

What would your initial reaction be if someone said, “Let’s go skydiving!”

HECK YES, let’s go today!

Ahhh, yeah, I’d be down – maybe one day soon.

Absolutely NOT, but I’ll watch ya from the ground!

How do you react to adrenaline-filled situations?

Adrenaline hypes me up, it doesn’t scare me, and I want to know: is skydiving worth the hype?

Eh, they make me a bit jittery, but once it’s over I feel good about it.

I really hate them – adrenaline sort of equates to anxiety for me.

How do you feel about heights?

They don’t bother me at all.

They’re not my favorite, but I can handle it.

I literally despise heights, they are the worst thing ever.

Do small and enclosed spaces freak you out?

Nope – claustrophobia WHO!?

Eh, they’re okay. Elevators are fine, but wouldn’t want to be stuck in one.

My worst fear is being in an enclosed space (I can feel myself getting sweaty and my heart rate increasing already)!

Are you cool with airplanes?

When I think, “Shall I do a skydive?” One of the coolest parts sounds like the plane.

Hmmm … I don’t love or hate them, I trust them for the most part.

They give me the heebie-jeebies; it’s a no from me and I have to take precautions for anxiety anytime I fly commercially.

How much does doing something new scare you?

Not at all, I love doing new things, even when I have no idea what to expect. If there’s potential to grow through the embarrassment, that’s even better.

New things aren’t the best, because they are a bit intimidating, but I like the feeling of empowerment that comes from doing it.

If I have the option to do something new or something I’m used to, I’m sticking with the familiar, even if the new thing would potentially benefit me.

Is your approach to life conservative?

Nope! I like to go out on a limb more often than not.

I’ll do new things if people push me to, but I would choose to stick to my routine if it were always up to me.

Yes, if it’s not broken, don’t mess with it! I like my life the way it is.

Is it important for you to overcome your fears?

Absolutely, I want to be the best version of myself possible.

Kind of, if the opportunity arises to overcome something, I will probably take it.

Not really, I’m functional and content the way I am.

How do you feel about placing your trust in the hands of a professional skydiving instructor? You are essentially giving up control.

I have no problem doing this, it’s like the ultimate trust fall and seems like a blast!

Well … when you word it like THAT, I’m not so sure, but I think I’d be down. What type of credentials do these skydivers have?

Ummm, that actually sounds like the worst thing ever. I need to be in control!

How well do you follow instructions?

Very well, I have no problem taking instructions and asking for clarification.

I kind of like to do my own thing, but when it comes down to it I can take instructions from someone who is qualified.

Following instructions? Never heard of her. That sounds like the worst; I dislike authority.

Scoring Key

Let’s freaking GOOOO!!!! This one is pretty self-explanatory. Your score indicates you are totally ready to book a skydive today!

You sound like you’re ready! So, let’s get pumped up and ready to go! But remember, use your own judgment. If the factors preventing you from getting a perfect score are crucial to you, make sure to seek guidance on those before making any bookings.

You seem a bit apprehensive – which is totally understandable. If you need additional support, feel free to reach out to us or read up on what to expect on the day of your jump. If you’re really eager to give it a shot, don’t hesitate to go for it!

Hmmm… it seems like something is holding you back. It’s not a thumbs down, but it’s not a thumbs up, either … at least for right now. Reassure yourself with some skydiving safety facts and learn more about the ins and outs of tandem skydiving.

Not this time, sunshine! Skydiving probably isn’t the best option for you right now, but you are more than welcome to come hang out, watch, and ask any questions.

Confidently ready to soar the skies? Awesome, we can’t wait to have you – book your jump! Still a bit apprehensive, but with some encouragement, you’ve got it? Cool – give us a call! Experiencing the pre-jump jitters (in a bad way) by just thinking about it? Hold off for a bit. Fact is, skydiving isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! If or when you feel ready to experience the gift of human flight, we’ll make it happen! Blue skies!
