jumpjunkie2004 0 #7 April 20, 2006 Hey - they weren't all skydiving injuries : ) I've abused myself my entire life. Dancing, Gymnastics, Three Wheeling, Pom Poms, and now skydiving : ) I've always hated milk because it makes me sick to my stomach. So, I'm sure it's part of the problem plus I'm old.

jumpjunkie2004 0 #10 April 20, 2006 I have broken two ankles jumping (two separate incidents), and now I jump with ankle braces and do a bunch of butt slides to protect my ankles. However, on a few rare occasions, I've actually stood up my landing : )Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yardhippie 0 #15 April 20, 2006 I go to the ER about 2 times a year. Usually for blunt force trauma or cuts that superglue wont fix. my last trip nearly got me admitted. i'd been sick and finally at 5am I woke up, couldnt breathe, high fever, and could barely walk. Hottie took me in and the put of the big bags of saline in me and a small bag of anti-biotics. I hate hospitals...
