Halo Jumping


Have you ever wanted to do something outrageous? Something you would never forget in your life? Something that all thrill seekers are wanting?
Well look no further. You have seen these guys jump out of C130's in the movies. Specially trained Navy Seals or Marines jumping out at 30,000 feet. So what are you waiting for?
No, you don't have to be in the military or any special forces anymore to try it yourself. There is such a place that you can do it for real. You can jump anywhere from 25,000-30,000 feet night or day its all up to you and what you can take.
Located in West Tennessee the school is called ironically West Tennessee Skydiving. Of course there are some requirements before jumping from such altitudes such as having experience for one before you do and having so many number of jumps under your belt. After all one must learn how to crawl before they can walk or in this case Halo Jump.
Halo stands for High Altitude Low Oxygen jumping, because the air is so thin the higher we go oxygen tanks are needed in order to breath and that we don't happen to pass out on the way down.
There are local hotels in the area that you can check into, visit their website by clicking here.
The cost is anywhere between $200-$450 a jump depending on if you ever have jumped before. Of course the $200 fee is for first timers going to tandem jump. These prices could change in the future so check with their website.
Those of you wanting to HALO jump you will need to be a certified jumper with a number of jumps currently under your belt, but that goes without saying for good reason.
If you are planning to fly in yourself the site also has the coordinates on how to reach it for those of you pilots out there.
Be sure to make your reservations to one of the area hotels before coming in since this is a very popular sport lots of people go all the time. Weather permitting of course.
