Inthebuff 0 #26 August 7, 2006 Me and my jump buddy always jump together. We travel to Spain 4 or 5 times a year and bang them in. Although I haven't got round to doing the following yet I will sort it before I jump again. Give my Best Friend all my nearest and dearests phone numbers. Give my Jump Buddy my Best Friends phone number. If I ever pile in then my Jump Buddy would contact my Best Friend. Better coming from someone who knows me than a total stranger at a DZ. My Best Friend would then tell my nearest and dearest ( he knows everyone I love ) By doing it this way I think it would help cushion the blow. I will also leave letters in my home that would explain to the recipients amongst other things that I loved what I did and that i would do it all again if I had the chance When I get home again after jumping I will put them away till the next time. They have funerals now that are called celebrations of life. Kind of an upbeat thing which will do me fine . No hymns,just some cool Riffs and a single crew cab Splitty instead of a hearse. Maybe a swooper or two landing in the park next to the crem where it would take place ( difficult to arrange but awsome ) All this would be in my letters. Plus copies of my Waiver. Well that's my plan. Live Life or die of boredom *********************************** Fly Like Zie Eagle, Not Like Zie Chicken ! Good advice from an instructor I know.

brianfry713 0 #27 August 7, 2006 I told them about my first jump, but after I made my second jump 7 years later, I didn't tell them until I started BASE jumping. My sister did her first tandem, and the family gathered around and watched the video. I was on the plane with her in my wingsuit. After it was over and we were talking about it, my mom asked, "Why don't you just jump off a bridge?", and I replied, "Okay, I'm doing that next weekend"BASE 1224, Senior Parachute Rigger, CPL ASEL IA, AGI, IGI USPA Coach & UPT Tandem Instructor, PRO, Altimaster Field Support Representative Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
