Skydive the Rock, Beloit

Skydive the Rock pairs thrill-seekers or bucket-listers looking to leap out of an airplane with skilled instructors who know exactly how to do it. Jumpers will start off with a 20-minute training session, then are placed into a harness before taking to the skies. With a USPA certified instructor, they'll board a turbine aircraft to a breathtaking height of 14,000 feet. Once there, they'll exit the plane and enjoy an adrenaline-filled freefall for roughly 60 seconds. Jumpers have the option of opening their own chutes, but the instructor is always present as a backup. Once the parachute is opened, thrillseekers take in the scenery during a 3- to 5-minute descent back to earth, which can be as wild or mild as desired.
