9,000 ft Skydiving in Rochelle, Illinois
Description
Tandem Skydiving in Illinois 2 Hours from Chicago
This skydive near Chicago takes place from the Rochelle drop zone. It makes it possible to discover tandem freefall safely with a professional instructor who handles the technical parts of the jump, from exiting the airplane to landing.
How the skydive in Rochelle works
The activity begins with check-in on site and verification of the necessary information, then the team provides the skydiving gear and presents the instructions to follow. The briefing explains the behavior to adopt in the airplane, the exit position, the freefall, the opening of the parachute, and the arrival on the ground. This preparation makes it possible to understand how the jump works before boarding.
The airplane then climbs to 9,000 ft. The climb lasts about 15 minutes. During this phase, the participant stays with the instructor and waits for the final checks before the jump, with a view over the west of Chicago and the area around Rochelle, a real sightseeing flight before the jump. Once the altitude is reached, the door opens and the jump begins.
The freefall lasts about 30 seconds, during which the speed can reach about 120 mph. After the parachute opens, the descent takes place more slowly. This part makes it possible to return to a calmer pace before the return to the drop zone. The instructor stays with the participant during the entire descent and until landing.
Practical information
This option is available from Monday to Thursday, with time slots from 9 a.m. until sunset. You should allow time on site, because the organization of the jumps depends on the weather and the airplane rotations. This tandem jump in Rochelle may be suitable for a first skydiving experience, a thrill activity near Chicago, or a gift.
