I have 34 static jumps and one free jump (10,500 ft) and it was WILD. personally I think static jumps are scarier, because you only jump at 1,250 ft.
As for the decree I will say this and the jumping out of plane analogy can be used
When I was in AirBorne school for the army one thing that stands out is something my instructors would always say.......
"Paratroopers! It takes your T-10 parachute 4 seconds to deploy. It takes 12 seconds to fall 1,250 feet. It takes 6 seconds for your reserve to open which leaves you 2 seconds to decide what to do. Your chute WILL open. Look at the horizon!! DO NOT LOOK DOWN!! The ground will come! Look at the horizon! Paratroopers, the one guarantee you have is the ground WILL come! Do not look down!!"
MK: Don't look down!! Keep living your life and don't wonder about the decree. Look at the horizon!
