skydiving today
I've repelled out of heli's in the military. Drove a tank for 6 years... And have raced drag and auto cross. Some how I think this is going to be much worse.
Wish me luck... Hopefully I won't end up as a red rohrshack blot on a cornfield somewhere. 14k ft tandem dive... |

Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes is a blast. After you stop screaming like a little bitch, you'll have a great time!

I am so going to do that one of these days. Hell I may even chip in and pay for the package including the parachute.

It is a blast. I have never made a tandem jump and I would not ever make one.
When I was skydiving, I went to a place that taught the AFF (Accelerated Free all) course. There was no way I would rely on someone else. Most dangerous thing about sky diving is the plane ride. 2nd most dangerous is the potential for collision with other jumpers nearing the DZ. It is relatively safe sport. |

Well, I see you're online so you must have made a safe landing. How was it? Where's the video?
