When I invited my cousin to go skydiving, he really didn’t want to go at first.
I kept talking to him about it and how safe and easy it really was.
He said that planes gave him high anxiety though. He said the only thing that would be able to relax him was good temperature control settings with high air conditioning. I told him we could make that happen and he would have a good time. I was happy when he finally agreed to come along. When we were on the plane, he kept saying that he needed more air conditioning because his anxiety levels were really peaking. He said just the thought of jumping out of the plane worked his nerves and he wasn’t sure if he could do it. I instructed the pilot to crank up the air conditioning on the plane and then he could adjust it how he saw fit after we jumped. They turned up the air conditioning and my cousin was able to relax a little when he felt the A/C flowing more from the HVAC vents. When it was go time, I had to give my cousin a friendly push and off we went! It was crazy, but my cousin was able to follow the instructions and pull the string to release the parachute at the right time. I was happy when I saw a huge smile on his face as I could see he was having a good time. When we eventually reached the ground, he said that he couldn’t wait to do it again!
