Cepheus 0 #52 December 25, 2002 The only time I've ridden the plane down by my own decision was the time I was having inner ear trouble. My sinuses were clogged, and never popped (and BOY that hurt coming down -- the pilot even took it slow for me; I hate to speculate on what might have happened had I jumped anyway). It was horrible -- I wanted so badly to jump, but I couldn't. edit: And the DZO didn't make me pay for it, either. Thanks Wally. -- Skydive -- testing gravity, one jump at a time.

Bip 0 #53 December 26, 2002 I refused to jump once when I was on 5 sec ff. I was so scared I was absolutly sure I was going to die. On the ride down I realised I would never jump again if I did not go right back up. I landed, manifested myself on the very next lift. The 5 secs went well. but then had a total. Got my reserve out at about 400ft. The rig I was jumping was an old B4 rig with a R10 reserve. (I think) I was wearing thick winter gloves and lost the main handle as I pulled it out of the pocket. The reserve was difficult to pull because the handle was tight against the reserve. That was about 1300 jumps ago in 1977. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
