Re: Free Fall
Great pic! I know it was a blast, but now how is the sensory overload? When is jump number two?

Re: Free Fall
We did this for awareness of Battens Disease. http://www.medhelp.org/lib/batten.htm
My 3rd cousin has this. His Grandmother, 74, did this to raise research money. I promised to go with her.
The whole gang at http://www.skydivetheranch.com/ pitched in and sponsored the event with video and pictures.
Many thanks to them.
Support form everyone. Wife included. After seeing all the different people jumping, my daughter wants a gift certificate for her 18th birthday.

Re: Free Fall
Sven,
Great picture. I suppose if you are going to leap from an airplane, raising awarness of Battens is as good a reason there is. You'll have to post the video!

Re: Free Fall
Also five jumps under the rounds here, then another 83 under squares. I haven't jumped for a while, even though I still have my gear hiding in my closet. Its just so darned hard to fly and jump at the same time. Time constraints, you know. Plus it makes the passengers awfully nervous.

Re: Free Fall
I just saw news last night of a guy that was observing a parachute flight in upstate NY that decided to jump out right after all of the guys with chutes. Problem was he wasn't waring one.

Re: Free Fall
A strong airplane; a sad story.
It's interesting that the workhorse Cessna 182 reportedly carried the pilot, the suicide man, and 3 jumpers to 10,ooo feet that day.

Re: Free Fall
Suicides by skydiving are fairly common and seem to happen a few times a year. Most of the deaths and injuries are from recklessness or carelessness. Most recently at a local DZ a girl made her third jump of the day. She previously complained that her chest strap hurt her boobs when she opened her canopy so she made her last jump with the chest strap unbuckled...and fell out of her harness.
Sad.

Re: Free Fall
I hear that very same thing almost happen to Gary Miesch but fortunatley his "moobs" were big enough to keep him from slipping through the harness... : )
