You all are awesome!

Thank you so much to everyone that responded. I have decided to do the Tandem. I don't know if I am brave enough to step out of an airplane on my own. I have never been tested like that before. It's not that I'm a chicken but you never really know your limits until it happens.

I have read posts on this subject but none later than 2006. I am assuming that technology has changed this sport as it has all others so I would like to pose the question again. My 19 year old son and I are going to make our first jump and may never jump again. We have been provided with the choice of tandem or static line. I would like your help in making that decision as you all seem to be very helpful and encouraging to newcomers of the sport of skydiving. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
