I think you’re just a bit overawed by it if I’m honest. You go with it because a little bit of peer pressure because everybody else is going to do it, so you just think … you don’t really notice it.

You just follow the instruction, and you had an Instructor in the Tower with you, so if you had any problems, you could always wave your arm and stuff, but you don’t consciously notice it because you’re too busy concentrating on clearing your ears because the pressure doubles every sort of four seconds, so you just need to keep on top of that all the time.
