Unlike competitive diving, synchronized eating, and sky wrestling, skydiving is not an Olympic sport. Enjoy un-judged thrills with today's Groupon: for $119, you get a tandem skydiving jump from Start Skydiving, valid at the location in Middletown (a $259 value).

Start Skydiving's tandem jumps pair thrill seekers with veteran skydiving instructors who guide them through an exhilarating free fall and scenic parachute ride down to earth. After an aircraft lifts diving duos to 10,500 feet, jumpers who are thoroughly harnessed to a parachute-equipped professional leap out into the blue. For about 50 seconds, divers experience the earth's unbridled gravitational power, ripping through the troposphere like a science teacher ripping apart an inaccurate drawing of the troposphere. The divemaster then pulls the parachute cord, slowing the fall to a leisurely 4-minute glide over the area, complete with a breathtaking bird's-eye view.
