If you’ve ever wanted to sky dive but thought the price was too expensive, the chance to take a jump is here.

Through this event sponsored by the Residence Hall Association, students will be allowed to participate in a skydiving adventure on April 5 for $100.

Junior history major Jim DeMarie, who is in charge of the trip, sky dived for the first time last summer and became addicted.

“I want to make it an annual thing,” DeMarie said. “Normally, the price is around $190, but since I’m friends with some of the people at Chicagoland Skydiving and since I’m bringing such bulk, they dropped the price.”

DeMarie expects to bring between 75 and 100 people. Spots available to participate.

DeMarie said on a clear day you can see all of downtown Chicago.

“You’re 1,400 feet in the air, descending at 125 miles per hour; that’s about a 60 second freefall and a five-to-six minute descent,” he said.

In addition to skydiving, the trip also includes bus transportation, a barbecue, volleyball and live music from the band Undefined.
