J0nathan 0 #1 June 21, 2011 hi i am gona go jump again on the 25 th and this time i wanted to listen to music in free fall. i got an ipod touch with the standart earphones. has anybody ever done this before and is willing to give me some advice weather this is safe an if i will be able to hear the music.i wanted to listen to the song b complex beautifull lies , but i think that this song is a bit to quiet to be able to hear it, should i go for a louder song like something from slipknot ? the other problem i tought about was how to prevent the speakers geting out of my ears in mid air, this could be dangerous if the cables entangle with the parachute lines. if you did this allready pleas help me ! thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DiverMike 5 #2 June 21, 2011 Since you are a student with 16 jumps, make sure you film all this on your helmet mounted GoPro Are you that bored with skydiving already that you have to listen to SlipKnot while doing it? For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

Don't you want to be able to hear other jumpers under canopy?The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

You should be more worried about not shattering your pelvis and both femurs at this stage! For me personally, when I listen to music it makes me more aggressive and excited... It seems like that might be a serious liability on a skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
