Our research group, Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Multimedia decided that it is time to put our fears aside and face the free-fall.
And we did it. We decided to go to Vrsar a nice Croatian coastal city. While it was really cold and cloudy in Ljubljana, it was sunny and warm (for this time of year) in Vrsar. We prepared for the jump and then took the airplane up to 4200m where we decided to leave the plane and go down our own way. Off course we did it in tandem with instructor on our backs.
But it was fun. All the 40 to 45 seconds of free fall.
The sky was completly clear and the visibility was amazing.
I want to go again. What a feeling.
Some photos are here, but not from the air, since they did not alow us to take the cameras with us (and it was the only righ thing to do).

Next time do mention stuff like this earlier...
Although I`m not nearly from the same research group, but I might still have join you!
=)
And by-the-way: what`s the price for this adrenalin rush?!

Well, it was kind of closed group event. However I will notify you next time I'll do something like that.
It's not really cheap to jump. It's 150€ per person in tandem. But it gets cheaper if you join any club and start jumping on your own. A bit cheaper thou.
Se you on Wednesday. Be prepared, I have put together some really hard questions, that I want to hear answers to.
