I skydived only a single time. It was a trip to Florida, last July, in a place not very far from Orlando. Tandem skydive at 18000 feet if I'm not mistaken so it was pretty high haha.
I don't tremember very well, but there was something that is deployed not long after you jump, and incidentally the parachute was deployed as well. The fall took like what, half an hour? Thankfully here the wind was not that strong thankfully and we faced no strong updrafts/downdrafts. We landed somewhat far from where the landing was supposed to happen. I ran out of subjects to talk with the instructor during the long fall, and the cameraflyer (photographer that jumps first to take pics) was long gone when we finally landed.
No, I'm not doing it again, thank you very much.
