I did one jump AFF, but that was about 30kg ago.

Big D we can still jump, we would each just use a tandem chute

must agree with Demon, its a huge rush. For me adrenalin was still pumping after one week! But vidoes like this make you think.......

Have a freind who recently had a mid air collition with paraglider, they got tangled together and started tumbling to the ground (can you imagine).
Luckily chutes came apart and opened up again and they were both saved!!!

Never understood why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane

Click on the link in my post, and wait (Poor 'n Brandewyn solong) - Video takes a while to load - It says "loading" then when finished will give you option to hit play button

(Have you seen our aeroplane?) Only joking, someone recently described our C206 as the best looked after 206 he's ever flown!
Why jump out? Because the door was open and you could?

Demon you must have been incredibly unlucky or incredibly unstable? :D Try arching!

I know skydivers that have their first mal after more than 1 000 jumps.

BTW Witbank is hosting the national championships in Canopy Accuracy, Style and Canopy Formation next weekend. Good spectating.

I have a mate who is an AFF instructor at Wonderboom, I reckon he is nuts jumping and he reckons I am nuts flying a micro............although he went for a flip a week ago and loved it :D Hoping to convince him to take it up.
I reckon the main thing with skydiving is to make sure you never jump to a conclusion.

If at first you do not succeed - skydiving is not for you.
