Did you know... You Don't Feel Like You're Falling
Surprisingly, many first-time jumpers say it feels more like floating on a cushion of air than falling.

Did you know... You Fall Faster Than a Formula 1 Race Car
A skydiver in a belly-to-earth position falls at about 120 mph (193 km/h). Head-down freeflyers can exceed 180–200 mph (290–320 km/h).

A legend was lost. Colin Cox brought skydiving to the Okanagan in the 1980s, opening the door to a sport that would become a part of so many lives in the Valley. Anyone who has ever jumped in Vernon or Salmon Arm owes him a debt of gratitude.
