That may be stretching it a little far. I discovered that you mostly fall straight down when freefalling while skydiving, not much in the way of controlling the flight.OhioBeachBum said:

The EPA won't let me hang-glide or skydive because of all the noise, and other pollution (my screaming, etc.

Not really uncomfortable, unless you don't fit it well. I remember the first time that I had to wear one of those harnesses. I was learning to rock climb and had to make my own harness out of a long strap (Army teachers) --those first few times felt really awkward, but after you realize their importance, they begin to feel like a security blanket. You feel most awkward when you take it off.Landlocked said:
Needless to say, I have learned from personal experience that if you don't fit the harness properly when skydiving, you can hurt yourself greatly, and I am not just talking about the pinching, but the bruising that takes place. Ouch. I have some video from a day of skydiving with some friends, and you should see the reaction on one of my friends face when he got to the ground. I am smiling just thinking about it. He was so elated. Kurt, how can I post a VHS video? Possible?
