This notion of fixing depression by jumping is common in skydiving. I've been jumping about twenty years and I've encountered people who claim to had been very depressed in their previous life and that jumping fixed them.
Never heard that from a tandem first time jumper, only those that made it their lifestyle.
- daveoflynn 9y agoLikewise - in the decade I was active in the sport of skydiving, I heard plenty of stories around using the sport to help with stress, depression, and other issues back in the “real world”. Never heard of a tandem jumper saying that, but then, how big is my sample size?
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoMy guess is that it's cause they gained a community - that seems to be the #1 thing that keeps people in the sport. I did MFF and got my A License and stopped jumping because I honestly didn't enjoy the community.
