Not sure what happend to me! I was on my first tandem jump and when I called to make the reservation I told them I weighed 220. Five minutes before my jump the guy who was going to jump with me began to pay any attention to me. At this time he said oh by the way how much do you weight. I told him and he was obviously frustrated. He kept saying were going to go fast, were going to go fast. At that moment he switched packs with the lady who was jumping with my boyfriend. Fastfoward to our jump...
All seemed fine untill we pulled the shoot and my harnes yanked up and I fell way down into my harness. So much so the chest strap was at my chin and the leg straps were cutting into me. He began letting me know that something was not right and off course I'm freaking out So my question is, is this normal and was it my fault. I made a joke after he said everything was fine about how I was bottom heavy (my weight is all located in hips) at that point he pipped up and said "YA, did not want to say anything but, YA!!" Well of course this has made me feel this is my fault, but I have come to believe that if my harnes was on tight enought or correctly I should not have fell so far into the harnes (about 6in) OK so I hope someone can let me know if it was me, him or a combo! Oh ya one more thing would the harnes being how it was stop me from being able to lift my knees? He was getting very frustrated with me because I could not bring my knees up and my feet out (only a tiny bit) I think because the straps were cutting into my legs so much it was very hard and painful to lift my kness. Needless to say he said do it or get hurt, but we landed ok even though my legs could not move. I hope I explained this well enought, let me know if more info is needed.
Thanks so much!
