freeflygoddess 0 #2 May 1, 2004 My boyfirend did just three days after he broke his back and ribs, when he hit the pond...he said that he never noticed his ribs hurting, but he did notice his back hurting, and well at the time he really didn't care. Swoopers go figure....He said he would do it all over again too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #3 May 1, 2004 just remember that your lungs don't lie far from your ribs, and your ability to breathe depends on adequate functioning of your chest wall. I'd personally jump with a broken leg (which I've done ) before I jumped with broken ribs.... Sucking chest wounds...yuck. <--probably being overly dramatic Peace~ Lindsey edited to add: ignore what I just said. Don't matter (as I work on my redneck drawl...) I think I remember reading that skydivers absorb oxygen through the skin....-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

lawrocket 3 #4 May 1, 2004 QuoteHas anyone ever jumped with a broken rib? Nope. And if I ever had a broken rib, I would want it to heal. So, bearing that in mind, I wouldn't jump with a broken rib. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
