Go for it but be sure to wear your seatbelt on the way there and back. That is where the danger is.

Anyone with a license has past the scary part, even on the airplane ride up to the jump altitudes, the planes at drop zones are usually so crappy I feel way more safer riding my parachute to the ground than riding the plane (I can even catch a quick nap sometimes during the ride up).
And you only have to wear your seatbelt up to about 1500 feet.
