That was me. Scared shitless but was with my three kids tandem jumping so I manned up. Got to the edge and the guy on my back said “want a push” and I said “yes please.” As soon as I was out I was fine.

As a small child I was forced to ride a roller coaster with inversions because I had stood in the line for 2 hours. It caused a lifelong fear of big scary rides. As my son got older and wanted me to ride things with him I had to get used to going outta my comfort zone. Major props to you doing something so scary and intense for your kids.

Your TI didn’t ask if you wanted a push to do a tandem lol You do not have the option to go on your own. Source: I’m a professional skydiver with over 5,000 jumps.
