has anyone jumped with their ipod? (or .mp3 player)

I occasionally listen to mine on the ride up, but I only put the headphone in one ear so I can still hear what's going on around me in case there's trouble. Then it gets turned off and goes into my jumpsuit pocket a few mins before exit.

I listened to it a couple of times on cross-country jumps, but it's just too unsafe if there are others in the air.

Hell, I have enough to focus on without needing another distraction on my jump.

Addressed in the safety & training forum. Many people have done it, but I think it's not a good idea safetywise...

Its been discussed at length in a few different threads.

The sort answer (besides the long answer for safety) is that you have to have it so damned loud (even in a helmet under canopy) that it's gonna damage your ears.

i have done it, i just make sure that its on the oppisite side as my audible. its not really a distraction in FF as i rarely hear it with an open face helmet, but make canopy ride more enjoyable.....specially when im getting ready to start my hook and here "Let the bodies hit the floor!"
