promise5 17 #27 March 3, 2013 Quote Let me see if I've got this straight. Just in the interest of due diligence. After 500+ posts on a skydiving website, you finally make your first jump. The plane isn't airborne; it isn't even moving; its engine isn't even running. And you break your leg. Did I get that right? I'm up to 500 posts???wooohooooo No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

david3 0 #31 March 3, 2013 Quote Quote Nope, first time on crutches and the very last time!!! Believe me its ok to laugh. I laughed with my friend when she told me how things looked to her. Crutch rule # 1 : Stand up and keep the crutches out of your armpits. Use your arms. Rule # 2: Go down stairs on your butt, looks silly, but will save said butt/head/neck. Rule # 3: No drinking "singles" of Smirnoff, unless firmly ensconced on sofa. Rule #4: Make everyone you know bring you said Smirnoff. Rule #5: A skydiver would have a cup holder mounted to those crutches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 8 #32 March 3, 2013 Let's face it... this is NOT the first time someone has claimed that they 'fell off a ladder' when they go get looked at for breaking something.

davjohns 1 #33 March 3, 2013 Goodness, girl. So sorry. It's much safer when you use the parachute.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygypsie 2 #36 March 3, 2013 Oh, yes I have a small break in my right leg between knee and ankle. Which is a royal pain. will post a pic if I can. -------------------------------------------------------- wow ! Saw your pic...sorry to hear it ! If an AFFI or SL-I would have been on board you could chalk it up for a "do over" mock exit in ground training You must be back from AK. & to a very warm CT (I know you can't be back in WI. because we are so far from summer attire here ) [;] Wherever you are enjoying warm temps, I hope you heal quickly so you can do your 3 tandems. The time you've been waiting for to schedule them is almost here....spring Of course you could always request a butt slide on your landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

promise5 17 #38 March 3, 2013 Thanks everyone. I've gotten some good laughs from your posts. So Do I get to change my profile to show that I've made my first jump???[:P No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

skyjumpenfool 2 #39 March 3, 2013 Um... You've made your first fall. Now, if you want to make your first jump with a cast on your leg, we can probably get you a low "CAST" number. Edited to add... but, keep in mind, there will be beer to pay. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #40 March 3, 2013 Quote ok, I said I would post this and ask everyone's opinion. I was talking with someone (yes he's a skydiver) about whether or not I made my first jump. Short version of what happened. I was talking to someone that was working on a plane and rather than have him stop working just to talk to me I figured I would help. Went up the ladder to give him something he needed and not sure what really happened but it kinda involved knocking over the ladder doing what someone said looked like a belly dive on the wing and sliding,falling, jumping, to the ground. I say that should be considered my first jump. I mean it involved a plane and I was air born for a second or two. Oh, yes I have a small break in my right leg between knee and ankle. Which is a royal pain. will post a pic if I can. very sorry you broke something...heal quick. But....when someone is "working on a plane" it might be best for the mechanic, the owner and all future passengers... If the A&P person is Not disturbed...at ALL... ..much less "helped"...ya' Know???time & place for everything sorta thing... jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

promise5 17 #42 March 3, 2013 Yeah, at least it wasn't a plane that would be flying anytime soon from the looks of it. But, I do understand about the "helping" part. He was a sweetie and I have a knew BFF lol Now, I'm wondering just how much beer this is going to take in order for this to be counted as a "jump"No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.

promise5 17 #43 March 3, 2013 I must be doing something wrong, I've requested Smirnoff's and nothing.
