FallinWoman 1 #1 November 2, 2001 You know how skydiving accidents are reported as chains, and if any one of the links had been broken, the incident would not have happened??Here is the chain of why I passed out in the plane, as best as my doctor and I could figure. 1. I drank heavily Friday night, and did not drink water that night or much the next day....possible dehydration.2. Flu shot Friday3. Naturally low blood pressure4. Lower levels of oxygen as plane ascended5. Being pinned between the right-seat pilot and another skydiver, her rig on my belly, I could not take full breaths.6. I am anemic (sp?) This one I only know because you guys talked me into going to the doctor. You were right. I ahve been put on Iron pills for two weeks, more tests, then we will see.If any one of those things had not been true at that moment, I may have been fine. I am just glad it happened in th plane!!!!Thank you for encouraging me to take care of myself!!!Blue skies, and safe jumps,Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
