Who would have thought
skydiving would become a trendy activity?
Judging from multiple offers
found on group discount buying websites like Living Social and Groupon, people
are stepping out (literally) and taking the plunge. Has the public become more
daring, or are we marking items off the bucket list? Or is the attraction of a
large discount luring participants to this thrilling adventure?  |
| My first skydiving experience was awesome. |
When I first took advantage
of such an offer about a year ago, I thought it was a novelty and a one-time
splurge. I wasn’t alone in that thinking as it seems many people realize such
offers make what could be a pricey endeavor more affordable. Within the past
few months I’ve seen offers from Lone Star Parachute Center in Lulling, Texas
(central to Austin, San Antonio, and Houston) and Texas Skydiving Center in
Lexington, Texas.

So, I bought vouchers from
Living Social to jump again--along with my husband who wouldn’t go with me the
first time but later wished he had. If discounts aren’t currently availble, but
you’re interested, keep watching for these to appear again.
Why skydive?
 |
| What a thrilling experience! |
-
It’s
a thrilling experience that will make you friends envious.
-
Free-falling
is unlike anything else you can imagine—it goes by so quickly you’ll wish it
lasted longer.
-
You’ll
feel incredibly brave, even if you did a tandem jump in which you leave the
technical part to an expert.
-
Drifting
to earth after the free-fall is amazingly peaceful—with
incredible views of the countryside.
- You’ll have a great excuse to celebrate with a toast. And you can relive the experience by showing videos or photos to anyone who will watch.
