Ok. Now i envy you! Great video! Just love it!
I have jumped bungee several times among other stuffs but skydiving have for some reason allways eluded me. It's really something i'd like to do with friends but either time or money and not least oppurtunity came in the way.
In sweden you have to jump quite a few times with an instructor (tandem) and get some courses before you're allowed to jump single. Was this your first time? If it is, then skydiving alone is a reason to visit Ukraine! Gotta love the "russian style" where the operators literally throws people out of the plane!
Thank you for the share!

haven't jumped bungee but I've done 3 "rope jumps" (I actually have a vid labeled as bungee jumping however since then I realized it was a different activity) - it's similar except you don't bounce back but continue swinging like on a pendulum.

this was my second jump - yes, we are allowed to jump by ourselves right from the start (of course, we are thoroughly trained first and the entire thing takes like a full day)
at the place I jump at the regular jumps cost around 45$ and tandem ones are around 3-4 times more expensive and only a few people, mostly women, go for that stuff

they don't push you - they tap you on the shoulder and say "go"
EDIT: I've re watched the video - yup, they were indeed assisting my exit - good Ukrainian efficiency

do come visit some day we could jump together - if your intentions are serious I could ask regarding english language visitors
