hackish 8 #1 July 30, 2007 My instructor suggested I do a tandem with him to help my arch as I had started at the IAD stage so had never done a freefall. It worked but holy crap during freefall my sinuses got so full I'm sure I blew out a liter of snot after I landed. No I don't have a cold and allergies are finished for the season... Think about how it is when you are drinking something and a joke makes you laugh that liquid out your nose. That's how it felt. I'm wondering if this is just par for the course? Maybe it would be helped a full faced helmet (eventually). -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armour666 0 #2 July 30, 2007 the only thing a fullface mask will do is keep all the snot contained I have bad season alergies it's take me (years ago when I was in the military ) some trial and error with the doctor to find what clears my sinuse but dosnt make me drowzy. Eaven when I dont feel alergies effects my sinus get filled up befor the runny nose starts. Skydive radio had a show With ear, nose, and throat Specialist, Dr. Stuart Selkin http://media.libsyn.com/media/skydiveradio/sr54_08_15_06.mp3 Talk to your doctor. being dopy headed while jumping would not be high on my list of things to do as altitude ect could have effects on teh drugs you take. SO this one time at band camp..... "Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless your nose is already running, keeping 120mph wind from blowing up it will really help with the snot production."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
