There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

If you've never had the experience of jumping out of an aircraft and falling for two miles, this is your chance. Swallow your fears and take the plunge!
You'll receive a significant discount over the standard jump price by booking in affiliation with the GT Sport Parachute Club. All jumpers must be at least 18 years old (no exceptions) and weigh less than 254 pounds. Cost is $159-$300 (approximately), depending on camera options and timely sign-up and waiver completion. Typically the standard jump price is $209. By booking in affiliation with the GT Sport Parachute Club, students can get a price of $169. And if they complete and e-sign their waivers a week in advance, they can get $159.
The most basic video package (a camera on the tandem instructor's wrist) costs $75 when booked during reservation and $85 if a student opts for it on the day of the jump. The standard package (camera man jumps with the student to shoot both video and still pictures) costs $98 when prebooked and $115 when requested on the day of the jump. The premium video package (with both cameras and video editing) costs $150 in advance and $165 on jump day.
In addition, those paying with credit cards will be assessed 5% surcharges over those paying with cash or check. Contact Greyson Daughtery for more information at sdaugherty3@gatech.edu.
