“People who come to skydive for the first time, their biggest worry are whether the parachute opens.
“The video takes the fear out of skydiving and captures the beauty of it rather than the adrenalin and fear attached to it.
“Yes you get an adrenalin hit and your senses and emotions are heightened, but it’s really all about being able to fly around the sky in a 3D environment.”
