After the exhilarating freefall, my instructor pulled the ripcord opening the giant parachute above us. The tiny parachute you see in the first photo is called a pilot chute and it helps the main chute open correctly.
I was expecting a jerk as the parachute opens, but it's not as dramatic as I'd imagined.
You can see the main landing strip of Wonderboom airport on the left.
My sister @edenmichelle captured these last few photos of my approach.
Gotta keep your legs up for the last bit!
And a perfect landing!
Thanks for joining my skydiving adventure, more exciting adventures are coming soon!
