cloud_monkey 0 #29 June 27, 2004 Quote Cloud_monkey, You have some awesome pics. The Gallery is great. The clarity and colors WOW. Anyway, this thread is helping the healing because I'm glad I'm not some of you guys :) Maybe HH could start an injured list forum. It would be our "BREAKfast Club" support group. I think we should also add cause of injury. It might make some people think twice about what they are doing next. Thanks again, CAs for cause of injury, broke my shit skiin' at Alpental Then again, I broke my arm 18 years ago doin' the same trick If you feel like catching up on the "BREAKfast Club" (Me and BASE813 have been at it for a while) here some posts, picks, and links, that should help ease the pain clicky Peace, Z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BASE813 0 #35 June 28, 2004 QuoteI think we should also add cause of injury. It might make some people think twice about what they are doing next. My injury was done on a BASE jump, I had decided not to post details of how and why it happened but if someone really wants to know I will PM it to them. Basically most injurys come down to "I fucked up" be safe out there - in a blink of an eye you can be on a long road you dont want to be on!!

happythoughts 0 #39 June 28, 2004 QuoteHow awful! The injuries are worse and worse as the list of those injured grows longer and longer... Next time someone starts a "skydiving is safer than the drive to the dz" thread, I'm going to link them to this. Everyone knows someone on their dz on crutches. This is why I never try to talk people into skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASE813 0 #40 June 28, 2004 i hate that reference that skydiving is safer than the drive to the DZ - its bloody ignorant to use that as an arguement............. basically what we do as parachutists can (and will in the BASE environement) hurt you and put you in hospital........... I know the car journey can hurt / kill you - but sorry, I know more skydivers with hospital time, or have died than car drivers - and I know many many many more car drivers!!! Example: I have had the following happen to GOOD friends: 1) Jan04 - My friend busts his leg and arm skydiving 2) Apr-04 - BASE jump my friend busts his leg 3) May-04 I bust my leg on BASE jump 4) June-04 - 2 friends bust their legs, (1 skydiving 1 BASE) Now you tell me you know that many people getting hurt driving a car in the past 2 months!!! WHAT WE DO IS FUCKING DANGEROUS!!!!!! Dont think its not!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildcard451 0 #44 June 28, 2004 Quote Next time someone starts a "skydiving is safer than the drive to the dz" thread, I'm going to link them to this. I actually didn't do mine jumping. I had a congenital extra band of cartilege in my knee that caused a blistering of the back of my kneecap and was causing my knee to lock. While they were in there, I had them remove a piece of bone from my patellar tendon, which pretty much entailed them cutting it in half. Were I to jump now, then I would have a skydiving injury However, I had them repair it now so I can heal faster, and I have the rest of my life to enjoy this sport. Recovery sucks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbrcokflichk 0 #45 June 28, 2004 Do holidays and weekends count in your three more weeks!!!!! If not then really that is only 14 days which is 2 weeks...and then we could divide that by the density of the air and subtract my jump numbers divided by your jumps numbers, squared and maybe we can have you for practice or at the very least, meet 3!!! Practice on7/5/05....WE NEED YOU BACK!!!!! need....want, what's the difference at this point!!!! --hi to you too!!! I'd rather have an awkward morning than a boring night!!!

smooth 0 #46 June 28, 2004 That's three more weeks using the doctor's timetable. I'll show up for practice on 7/5 and make a jump if it feels good. I have a pre-scheduled doc appt. on 7/6.
