Does Anybody do SkyDiving

Yep right there with you :thumbsup:
 
Sounds like fun if you jump from a really high altitude near a coastline or jump from a really low altitude over enemy territory. Exhilarating one might say. :D

Never tried it. My Dad, a B-17 bombardier/navigator did not approve. :rolleyes:


:usflag:
 
Buddy of mine skydives regularly... First time he ever jumped the flight before his had a chute fail to deploy... The secondary chute did deploy but it was late & the guy hit pretty hard, broke leg & shattered ankle on the other leg....

I would have gone home & never gone back.... He jumped anyway.. & still does...
 
I’d love to, at least in my fantasy life, but at age sixty I’m just a big pussy.
If I was going to do it I’d take the training and jump by myself. The only person I’m strapping myself to and jumping out of a plane with would be Taylor Swift. And because her restraining order says 100 feet it’s not likely to happen

Ask Bear Grylls about skydiving disasters...

In 1996, Bear Grylls' career as an adventurer and television personality was almost pre-empted at the age of 21, when a SAS training exercise went wrong.

During a skydive over Zambia, his parachute failed to inflate at 16,000ft (4,900m).

"I should have cut the main parachute and gone to the reserve but thought there was time to resolve the problem," he later told the Daily Mail.

Instead, he came to earth on his parachute pack, fracturing three vertebrae in the process.

Although his spinal cord was intact, he spent the next year undergoing 10 hours a day of rehabilitation including physiotherapy, swimming and ultrasound treatment. Some 18 months after the accident, he would reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Absolutely NO reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, even if the engine has quit ! My wife wanted to jump, but we decided it wouldn't look good when her chute didn't open after leaving my airplane.....
