[NFBC-Info] Sky Diving

[yoshinoscott at gmail.com]

Hi Rachael, 

I went sky diving a few years ago and loved it! I didn't need any special accommodation except for signing paperwork, which my friend helped me. The instructor guides you every step. I think my instructor had sensitivity training of some sorts. He was very descriptive. I was scared when we were on the little airplane, but it was a lot of fun after we jumped and floating in the air. Actually it helped that I couldn't see how high we were and all.

Good morning, everyone:

I’m reaching out because I am planning to go skydiving in a couple weeks, and I wanted to find out if there is anyone on this list who has gone skydiving as a blind person. I have some questions about whether or not I should disclose my disability when I book the trip, as well as if there are any adaptations that need to be made for a blind skydiver. If you have any insight on this, please write me off list at rachel.grider at gmail.com; any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, and all best,

Rachel
