AggieDave 6 #1 June 8, 2005 Is it more dangerous to be a midget skydiver? I think so since people are always asking you on dives that you shouldn't be on at your experience level, just for the great pictures to be had. They always want you flying HD in the RW formations and everyone wants you to jump out the little cargo door in the back of the 182. Its not fair for the midget skydivers and this discrimination will eventually lead to someone getting hurt, it needs to stop!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

bob.dino 1 #4 June 8, 2005 Being a midget skydiver means you might get opportunities regularly-sized skydivers might not get. You may also get discounted jump tickets if you sit in the pilot's lap on the ride up. However, it's still up to the midget skydiver to take advantage of these opportunities, and some do. Some don't . edit: apologies to the Daves featured . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You big people wish you could get thrown like that (it's a lot of fun, btw. Highly recommended for the other little people, as we like to be called these days.). And yes, I can stand up in an otter. Ok not quite straight up, but close enough. You know you're jealous. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #11 June 8, 2005 I'm 6' 3" and 180lbs. Damn right I wish I could stand up in our Otter! If I stand completely upright in the Skyvan, I'll knock myself out on the lip of the door on exit . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #14 June 8, 2005 QuoteA bird would probable fly by and eat him.SlySlySlySly Whats hilarious is that I nearly hit a bird while swooping at the Texas CPC this past weekend. I have it on video, you can see the little bird get sucked into the airflow over the top of the canopy, its flight path gets changed and you see it fight and keep flying after I go past.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

We never had a problem standing up in a otter, casa, twin beech, etc so I guess we qualify to be a am little person (more tall women) I wonder how short a person would have to be to stand up in a cessna 180?
