  1. THE TRUTH BEHIND WHY PEOPLE SKYDIVE

  2. If you’re thinking about making a skydive for the first time, you already know that you’re in for a fun ride. That goes without saying! You might, however, not know exactly why it’s such a uniquely enjoyable activity. Beyond freefall, what is there to love? Why are you going to fall for skydiving as figuratively as you will literally? Here are some totally true-but unconventional-answers.

  3. BECAUSE IT’S SCARY. • I know what you’re thinking: What?! Being scared isn’t fun! • Bear with me, here. In this particular way, being scared is fun. The actual word for this has to do with a phenomenon called “autotelia”-which, according to a prominent cognitive theorist with a very unpronounceable name-is a different kind of fun that’s still entirely valid. In a nutshell, autotelia is the kind of fun you’re having when you’re doing something that’s a challenge but has a long list of long-run benefits.

  4. The idea of autotelia ties in with the concept of flow, the state of mind you experience when you’re one hundred percent engaged in the task at hand. • Skydiving is pretty much the most autotelic, flow-state experience we’ve ever had, and the nervous energy you’re likely to experience is a big part of the power that drives it. So: Embrace the butterflies! You’ll be smiling from ear to ear for days.

  5. BECAUSE OF THE NEW PERSPECTIVE. • We’re not just talking about the fourteen-thousand-feet-above-the-ground thing (though there really is nothing quite like seeing our beloved Tennessee River from the air). We’re talking about the sense of accomplishment you’ll experience after you do your jump. • To read our full blog, click here: https://www.chattanoogaskydivingcompany.com/blog/the-truth-behind-why-people-skydive/
