1. THE SKYDIVING EXPERIENCE CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

The effects of skydiving on your brain are mind-blowing and play a huge role in the euphoric feeling that follows a skydive and overall function.

When skydiving, your body will release all those naturally occurring “feel-good” hormones (adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin). The release of this cocktail of chemicals activates our pleasure sensors and almost cleanses our brains to rejuvenate our bodies.

It is because of this, that skydiving can be (and is) used as a fantastic therapy. The increase in dopamine alone has been proven to improve memory and attention. While adrenaline improves cardiovascular function, pain resistance, and overall strength. Superhuman powers, activate!

2. THE SKYDIVING EXPERIENCE CREATES LASTING MEMORIES
