HI GUYS AND GALS,
In 2001 at the age of 18 I had my first SL skydiving experience...
I enjoyed it so much that I went for a second SL jump 2hrs later!
UNFORTUNATELY, three weeks after this joyous experience TRADEGY STRUCK!
My INSTRUCTOR died tragically in a skydiving accident when his Main shute and Reserve shute got entangled in doing a cutaway.
He died in hospital hrs later due to internal bleeding.
At first this scared the life out of me, but ever-since the first two jumps in 2001, the sport has been YELLING my name.
I have finally decided that I want to make a
come-back and train to be an AFF INSTRUCTOR.
Maturing and getting an understanding that DEATH is PART of LIFE REALLY GOT ME THROUGH THAT INNITIAL FEAR...
I LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA NEAR CARLTONVILLE, MY INITIAL JUMPS WERE DONE AT WONDABOOM, IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT KNOWS THE LOCAL DZs.
PLS INFORM ME WHICH IS A BETTER OPTION.
THANX.
