Every landing is different, but you can typically expect your touch–down to feel less jarring than what you’d experience if you jumped from a chair. We use large parachutes and have a team of highly skilled instructors that really know what they’re doing. Obviously we can’t predict every scenario, and wind, weather, weight, your cooperation, and other factors can definitely play a role in what your landing feels like. We can’t guarantee a perfect tip-toe touchdown, but you shouldn’t go into it expecting a hard fall.
