I've jumped from 10k before. It was fantastic.

Holy cats! Why are so many wooters afraid? What time of year is this? FALL! Perfect for a high altitude fall, right?
This reminds me of how many people think I was nuts to go swimming in the middle of the ocean. "It's thousands of feet down." "You can't see what's underneath you." True and true, but so what? Once it's deep enough that I can't touch the bottom, why should I care whether it's 10 feet deep or 10,000 feet deep?
Okay, so jumping from 10,000 feet is not the same as from the upper atm. So? As long as you're geared up properly, you'll have a lot more time to enjoy the feeling and the scenery!
