Parachute School of Toronto

I had the time of my life this past weekend – Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying” pretty much sums it up. After dreaming about skydiving for years, I finally mustered up the courage, visited the Parachute School of Toronto – and more importantly, found a few other newbies who wanted to try it with me!

We headed to Baldwin, On., where the school is located – complete with a morning of diving, laughs, and tummy butterflies.

Their experienced instructors took us 13,500 feet into the air, where we jumped out of the aircraft. Their staff, instructors, and media gurus (I pick the word ‘guru’ because it takes a sh!t load of skill to jump out of a plane and open your parachute, all while taking photos and videos) were as nice as ever.

Do I recommend this? I HIGHLY recommend it.

  1. You got me at the title, Emily! Astrid and I talk about that often…living as though today were our last. Experiences for us are more important than things to buy, so we love to travel and see things. I have often wanted to paraglide…NOT junp out of a plane. Maybe one day I’ll do it! 🙂

  2. Sweet shots! I use to jump out of Airplanes when I was in the Mil not too long ago. Looking at these photos got my heart pumping! I’m glad you had a great positive experience, being in the air is not natural for us humans 🙂

  3. Oh man, this is so cool. I fondly remember my first couple times jumping in Hawaii a few years back. I need to dig up those shots for a blog post. Thanks for reminding me!
