Michele 1 #2 August 8, 2001 Hi, HolgerWell, I know I have seen several people with artificial limbs in Perris, jumping. But as I am so new to the sport, that's about all I can tell you. And since Perris is far from Germany, I have no idea if that'll even help.Perhaps if you contacted them via their website, they might be able to get you some information (""skydiveperris.com"). Maybe contacting other dz's would help, as well. Hope that helps.Ciel bleuMichele Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainman 0 #4 August 9, 2001 It's nowhere near Germany either, but have a look at http://www.danabowman.com and read Dana's story. It's an astonishing story, no matter how many legs you have!Ramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenW 0 #5 August 9, 2001 Hi Holger!I jump with a guy in the UK who has no legs. He's been jumping for about a year now and we've been doing some kick ass freefly jumps lately (he's also pretty good at RW too!). He proves that you don't need legs to skydive!We jump at a club in the UK called Langar http://www.bpslangar.co.uk . Give them a call, they have had a fair bit of experience with this now - they have a "skydivers with missing limbs" type club that jumps there every couple of months.Wish her good luck for me!! She CAN do it!Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
