I would like to but I'm too chicken and thats the truth.

I've looked into it. I want to try a tandem jump because it's cheapier. I just want to say I've done it. I don't know what you're body weight is but the ones I seen have a weight limit of 215lbs.

If its 215 , I am too heavy...

I'm sure 215 is not the limit. It probably just means finding a place to accomidate heavier people. I'm in the same boat with the weight.

I haven't jumped out of a plane in damn near nine years now. Back then though, I was weighing in at 165lbs, but also had another 80lbs of gear on me.

Is the 215lbs weight limit for tandem jumps? By the way, there are more accidents with tandem than if you solo...

I did a tandem jump about three years ago and it was great. They took us up to 13,000 feet and we freefell about 10,000 of it. Once you reach terminal velocity, you feel like your flying. Where I went the weight limit was 250lbs. Also got my jump video taped and put on a DVD along with some still photos. It was extra money but I figure its a once in a lifetime thing for me so I wanted the preserve the event.
