Panicking in freefall is not typical at all. Without mental control of your faculties you would be a liability to your self and others. On the very rare occasion, there are tandem skydivers who refuse to jump at the door. They simply land with the aircraft, however it must be stressed this is rare. The vast majority of jumpers go on the have a very enjoyable experience and it is not dominated by sheer terror. The experience is instead thrilling, exhilarating and repeatable.
