Why I'm never skydiving again: / Tony: Social distancing, Noel. No face mask. Does Rachael need to be worried about your new friend being so close behind you? This is your best one yet! This is now on our bucket list after having apples shot off our heads, two weeks camping at Chernobyl and a food tour with Andrew Zimmern (although the fried pig intestines stuffed with capybara brains is quite appealing. I'm a private pilot and I'm following your progress. Good luck.

Noel my Brada, you just confirmed what I've always said when it comes to skydiving. Why jump out of a perfectly flying machine/plane and put your life on the line on an oversized bed sheet with some strings. LOL. The best part is when your wife asked what was enjoyable about it. when I drove away from the airport. That was hilarious. laughed my head off. Good for you for doing it though. Always enjoy your reviews and adventures.

Hey dude, I had the same reaction on my tandem jump, I also skipped breakfast. It's adrenaline + no food, I almost blacked out, it was like 40 Celcius, I was in Australia then.
But year ago I went for AFF (training to become solo skydiver, I ate breakfast and now I can't imagine my life without skydiving! I have 79 jumps in the moment I'm writing this and I've never been happier in my life! This is ultimate freedom!

Noel, you are completely bonkers doing that but 100% quodos for going through with it. I was almost crying with laughter when you jumped out absolutely petrified. I see you changed your trousers afterwards lol! Brilliant for being able to laugh at yourself and being such a good sport. Loved the video, flippin' (or flappin') well done! (I'm never, ever, no never going to be doing that, ever)

Im 73 and my husband 79. We skydived over Uluru, and it was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed every minute, including the opportunity to handle the controls ourselves. Best thing Ive ever done ( apart from piloting my own hot air balloon, and without question would do it again. Just remember next time to shut ones mouth on exiting the plane.

I went to Headcorn some years ago to watch some colleagues do a parachute jump (static line, not free fall) in aid of Benenden Hospital. One of them summed it up: Yes, Id do it again, but only if my life depended on it. I administered suitable medication at a local hostelry before putting them on their train back to London.

i was terrified watching, never mind being in your shoes. I am going to Portimao this summer and i'm sticking with the beach. Amazing video to watch Noel, i hope you had some great Sardinhas assadas on this trip since it was August. I can't wait to get back to the Algarve this summer!

Hey Noel, thanks so much for uploading this. (I was the first jumper aka pony tail guy. You got a great shot of my jump, may I be cheeky and ask if you have any more footage of me? If so please could I have it? Not sure the best way to contact you but would sure be appreciated.

The moment I left the plane is a moment I will never better to comprehend or understand. My body just shut down and I forgot I had someone with me. I was separated from life. It did everything I wanted it to do which was scare me out of depression but I will never do it again.

Beeing a tandemmaster myself with 1000 tandemjumps i can say that the passenger-harness was not put on properly. The gap between shoulder and harness was way to big, which made it also extremely hard to get the legs up for the landing, since you hang to low.

I have watched this several times & glad I rewatched it tonight. I haven't laughed in a long time, but there was so many times I couldn't help but laugh. Thank you for your 'sacrifices' to bring joy to your viewers. lol

I did that for my 50th. I had a panic attack on the way up, which Ive never had before or since, and hated every minute. I just wanted to be on solid ground. But I lost my vertigo afterwards.
Im so glad Im not alone!

reply

I was terrified before my tandem but absolutely loved it. Ended up getting certified and have done 90+ jumps. I don't jump anymore but I'm glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Blue skies
reply

Only just started watching you. Love planes but dont know enough to tell them apart except for basics! Thoroughly enjoying your videos though. This was hilarious! I want to do it so much!
reply

I'm the opposite to you - I never wanted to do it, but I have been skydiving once. I would have done it again straight away, but the further in time I get from it the less I want to do it again.
reply

I was just thinking maybe the fans can gather some money to offer you a new skydive experience. , but then again, you are more of a Hero then me, I would not have done it, skydiving I mean!
reply

Ive literally never met or heard of anyone who went skydiving successfully who regretted it - except you! Lmao this video was great. I have a feeling I would have the same reaction.
reply

Ah, Noel, you are the most British man ever. One of the most exciting things you can do, and you are whinging on like it was a trip to the DMV. Never change, I love it.
reply

Well done noel, must admit you've done something I couldn't do. but I had to look twice to make sure that was the parachute shooting out from behind you
reply

OMG I was so scared for you, I felt your fear xx Well done xxxx
(now im 100% sure im soooooo not doing it) thank you xx
