Parachute Balloon Jumps: What Makes It Unique?

A parachute balloon jump is fundamentally different from a regular skydive. In a regular parachute jump, you exit an aircraft flying at high speed. In balloon skydiving, the basket is stationary in the air. This means you experience the first seconds of freefall in absolute silence - a sensation unique to balloon parachute jumping.

  • Unique photo opportunities from basket
