And wow, just wow!

Anyone else jump out of a perfectly working plane?

Morgan · 07-03-2009, 07:59 PM

I saw the Philadelphia skyline from 5000 ft!

I can't really blame you for not remembering... but that doesn't mean you never went ;)

Kioshi · 07-03-2009, 08:02 PM

I'm going to be doing this with my coworker and friends soon!!!

Any recommendation for pre-preparation Nutz? Even though I'm scared of heights, i said f-it :)

How many ft was it? I'm thinking of 15000 ft 60 secs...my friend wants me to do 90 sec 18000 ft w/ her... O_O...

Pre-preparation... lol... my preparation consisted of me telling the most important people in my life, that they are... the most important people in my life...

But you should always, ALWAYS, speak from the heart... you never know what moment could be your last!

And relax... It really is safe! Truly, honestly, and completely safe!

Pretty safe? yes. Completely safe? no.

And the people with the attitude that nothing will go wrong, are always the ones who have something go wrong. If someone puts one wrong fold in your lines and chute, it won't open. Personally, I'm gonna learn how to fold my own chute, and watch a pro pack my chute with at least 2 other friends that also know how to fold there watching too. I'm paranoid, but there isn't much fixing a situation once you're off the ground.

Come on... you knew what I meant... There are adequate safety precautions taken. It's not even completely safe to leave your house, or stay in it for that matter... Hell. look at all the photos on this website of people who crashed their Yaris... Nothing in this world is safe... Death happens, even to those who have not been born yet!

Lets not attack words here!

awesome, its somewhat secretly been something I wanted to do but I have extremely terrible luck, so I tend to avoid the extreme sports :/

I really enjoy the small flights from florida to atlanta when you are below the clouds and can see the ground with mini-houses and people, so I think I'd really enjoy the view while jumping!

If your the girl in your avatar, you look cute enough to be able to make your own luck ;)

I'll tell you a sight... at 12,000 ft I saw a cloud below us that had a circle rainbow in it... then at 10,000 ft... we feel right though that circle!

haha, yeah thats me in the avatar

anyway - I was supposed to go para-sailing once and as I was getting in the harness the main drag line snapped and needless to say I have a serious fear of kites large enough to drown you

one day I will go, until then I'm still jealous of those who get to do it

Kioshi · 07-03-2009, 08:09 PM

LOL.... I'll keep that in mind when I do it soon. Was yours a tandem jump, with someone strapped to you falling down? Or the real thing, solo?

True that, I have been doing that lately. The relaxing part is going to be hard though~

Kioshi · 07-03-2009, 08:12 PM

a rainbow in a cloud, that must've been a sight to see....

This is the one I'm going to be doing - http://1800funjump.com/tandem.html

Any pics you want to share on here?

Nutzoids · 07-03-2009, 08:21 PM

Definitely a Tandem Jump... and yes, it was a sight to see!

My buddy paid extra for the video and pics... and his guy took a few of me... so once I get that copy... then yeah!

Morgan · 07-03-2009, 09:13 PM
