I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place to post this message. I am new to the board (and also to skydiving!) and was a little unsure where to post. I have not had a chance to jump yet (crummy weather here lately), but even with my very basic knowledge, I know there is way more to the sport than "just jumping." As a cognitive psychology student in university, I am extremely interested in the thinking processes involved with skydiving and would like to learn more. I would love the chance to email with a few of you (if you have time) about the cognitive tasks involved in skydiving. I'm really interested in what tasks you must accomplish in order to ensure safety and what information you must be aware of both prior to and during your jump. Thanks in advance
