SWITZERLAND, Skydiving from a Helicopter

 Thursday October 26, 2007

The jumpmaster told us that there were only 3 places in the world you could jump from a helicopter in the mountains ........ Australia, Hawaii and Interlaken, Switzerland. 2 days ago I went skydiving out of a plane but the opportunity to jump from a helicopter was too great to pass on. Another major expense of $550 including the video but definitely worth it.  Unfortunately I don't have any pictures.  Need to learn how to upload my video. There was a momentary delay as a mechanic needed to perform maintenance on the helicopter. NOT A CONFIDENCE BUILDER.  But off we went, the helicopter climbed to 15,000 feet and the views were spectacular.  We jumped right inside of the Jungfrau, Monch and Eiger mountains which was quite an adrenaline rush. At one point we were only about 20 feet from a waterfall. Best money ever spent. Good day.
