I have been skydiving at Skydive Chicago for 3 yea...

I have been skydiving at Skydive Chicago for 3 years now. I have visited many other facilities, both in the Chicagoland area and other states. All I can say is that there is no place that even comes close to being as good as SDC. Friendly staff, well maintained gear and airplanes, experienced jumpers, and outstanding facilities. I would personally not go anywhere else if it wasn't for the off-season. And people who actually understand skydiving would be wrong to not question the safety record, it's a risky activity. But the incidents that occurred were do to Experienced Jumpers pushing the envelope and trying to advance the sport, not new jumpers going on their initial skydives. Anyway.... IF you're looking to do your first jump or have 1000s under your belt, I would personally recommend Skydive Chicago.
