billeisele 130 #1 July 25, 2006 Has anyone else seen the ABC News story of the tandem jump posted today on AOL Video on Demand? Skydiving Grandma Takes Flight http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16598&rn=49750&cl=619880&ch=61492&src= Bill Booth will love this one. The jump is from a Cessna with an 80-year old. IMO this is the stuff that eventually gets us all in trouble. Can't say much about the tandem master but looks like they have great video staff. Edited by slotperfect to make the link clickyGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

In your opinion, at what age should we mandate that people stop jumping? Other than the instructor's exit and drogue toss being lame, I didn't see anything wrong.

rehmwa 2 #3 July 25, 2006 edit (i was teasing Dan in this one, but likely someone will take it wrong)!! ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I saw of the skydive sucked, but I see no problem with taking the elderly provided they're healthy enough. I took a gal for her 90th birthday last month and we had a blast.

billeisele 130 #5 July 26, 2006 my bad - grammer, sentence construction, whatever - should not have tried posting this after working 18 hours and after a few relaxation liquids to clarify - i don't have an issue with the age of the passenger but rather am a little troubled by the performance of the TIGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together.
