sangiro 26 #1 February 17, 2004 Heya all, I've added a new forum for Skydivers with Disabilities. Thank you to Billy Vance for driving and pushing this through. I hope you can use this space to meet each other, share information, plan events and simply build some great friendships! This is a moderated forum. I expect that posts in this forum will in some way or form be related to skydiving and some form of disability.Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok...But don't most of us fit as "Mentally Disabled"?

Remster 30 #6 February 18, 2004 QuoteWhat about issues such as Diabetes??? My opinion doesnt count any more then anyone else on this, but diabetes does present complications: foot injuries can be devastating, infection risks from minor injuries... so yea, why not discuss issues like that? What do others think?Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jennifer IIRC there has been quite a few blind tandems over the years, and recently there was a skydiver that lost his site and did an AFF style jump (he was coached in via radio)._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
