Skydiving is the latest craze among New Age thrill-seekers, says Susmita Saha from The Telegraph
It is as if the air felt alive.The beginners jumped with enthusiasm only a few sport can provide.The feeling of Yes We did it was real and incomparable But then,amidst the doubts in their mind on will they or won't they,they emerged as the Skydiving warriors of today.The Deesa camp came to an end with full on adventure yesterday.Not many know,that Skydiving is happening in India for quite a while now. Skyriders,a division of Kakini Enterprises,is where I work these days and where I have been working from past 9 months apart from Blogging has inspired many people to take up the sport.Skydiving in India is now a rage.It is what every daring youth is upto these days and even retired professionals.
But till now,I get the same old questions,how safe is it?And I have the same old answer just like every another adventure sport.The safety standards are of Skyriders prime importance,because every life is precious.But people wouldn't believe,the questions wouldn't stop.Some say,they have heard it for the first time.Blame the internet.Last year Kakini Enteprises celebrated Dhana Anniversary Camp where my Manager,Aanchal cut the cake mid-air to celebrate the occasion.Such is the passion.Let's take you to a quick overview of the camp in Deesa and upcoming camps in Karnal and Mysore,India.
The meaning of celebration double fold when in Air

AFF(Accelerated Free Fall)
AFF is an intermediate level course.The criteria for an AFF is If a person wants to do an AFF or a Tandem AFF,he needs to either complete 2 Static lines or 1 Tandem before. Tandem AFF: Is an AFF where you will have a full day training.The next day would be your jump with the instructor piggy backing you,but you would be the one handling all operations,i.e opening of parachute,landing etc. AFF: Two instructors jump along with you(not piggy backing you) and they help you maintain position mid air,and let you go.
